Week-Long Environmental Modules
Learn about important environmental topics to become an eco-warrior with us!
These modules are highly interactive with different goals everyday (for 5 days) that students, ideally from grades 3 through 6, can meet to dive deeply into the respective topic. The tasks for each day should vary from 10-30 minutes, and we will provide a certificate upon completion of a module as well as the chance to be featured on our page!
The Tomorrow Project has utilized a third-party application to host the online modules. Please click here to visit the page. The module will open in a new browser tab.
