Growing Up Green allows learners in grades 3–5 to build critical and creative thinking skills while also improving skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Featuring ten problem-based investigations related to sustainability and environmental concerns, this book will give you everything you need to encourage your gifted learners to identify problems, develop research questions, gather and analyze data, develop possible solutions, and disseminate this information to others. Each investigation includes comprehensive teacher instructions, ideas for differentiation, cross-curricular connections, hands-on student activities, reproducible student resources, reflection opportunities, and assessment options.
Perfect for general education classrooms, single- or multi-grade gifted classrooms, or pull-out programs, this book is a must read for any educator seeking to delight and challenge their students with projects that touch on issues facing their real world communities today.
