If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, then you know that I just LOVE to engage and motivate students by tying the seasons and holidays into my everyday lesson plans.
And when the calendar is turned to April, Earth Day is front and center in my upper elementary classroom. You can find my students knee-deep in Earth Day reading, science, and research writing activities. I love to watch them learn so much about our planet and vow to help protect it!
No matter how you involve your students in learning about how to take care of our planet, these FREE Earth Day videos will inspire, educate, and motivate your students to learn more ways to help take care of our planet this Earth Day. And bonus...you can grab a set of note-taking graphic organizers for free at the bottom of this post, perfect to help your students take notes as they watch these educational videos. (see more hands-on Earth Day activities HERE.)
Note: As with any video, website, or resource that you bring into your classroom, be sure to preview each video before sharing with your class to make sure that they are appropriate for your cohort of students.

Resources You Will LOVE:
Thank you SO much for these resources, and the MANY others you've shared & provided, especially during this crisis! I especially liked these and am now "officially" a part of TedX, as I adjusted/edited the lesson plan that was provided with the first video you posted, "Here Comes the Garbage Barge". It was user friendly and very easy to adjust for my students with special needs! Now, all I have to do is upload it to my class website, and we should be good to go! I appreciate you!
