Positives
- The posters can be hung in your classroom to encourage conversations about climate action.

Additional Prerequisites
- The materials support environmental stewardship, not Earth Day specifically, so they can be used at any point during the year.

Differentiation
- The growth mindset cards can be used when having conversations with students about their ability to succeed and can be used digitally or as cards or tokens to encourage and support students.
- These printable materials can be used in a variety of situations and for various grade levels to encourage students to think about the environment and how they can help make a difference.
- Consider using the bookmarks, posters, and certificates as rewards or incentives for groups of students that complete projects or assignments and participate in discussions.
- Some ideas for Earth Day projects include this tree-planting activity, this artistic display, and this Walk and Roll Day initiative.
From the scientist review
To mark Earth Day, these slides contain SubjectToClimate Earth Day materials where students can learn and be equipped as environmental stewards. The materials are suitable to spur students to co-create climate solutions; lead in their community to protect the ecosystem, green spaces, and parks; engage actively in environmental justice; engage in responsible shopping and consumption; and support actions to save planet Earth. This is ideal and recommended for teaching.
