One of a series of environmental education (EE) units intended for use by workshop facilitators who help teachers explore ways to integrate EE techniques and concepts into their teaching. Three strategies are described: offering class-ready activities, developing activities and units that complement existing curiculum content, and using EE to teach process skills such as critical thinking.

The research question addressed in this study was, what effect will integrating environmental education into the language arts writing curriculum have on primary students' environmental knowledge and their positive feelings towards nature? Today children are spending less time outdoors. Having an interested adult as a guide will help children enjoy, respect, and care for their natural environment. This capstone details an environmental study with kindergarten and first grade students in a small rural school setting. Key influences included environmental experts such as Louv, Sobel, and Cornell. The study involved pre- and post-survey questionnaires, nature journals, and lessons in the areas of trees and plants, water and its usage, and conservation care. This research shows a positive correlation between children's environmental knowledge and their positive feelings towards nature.

In the coming decades, the general public will be required ever more often to understand complex environmental issues, evaluate proposed environmental plans, and understand how individual decisions affect the environment at local to global scales. Thus it is of fundamental importance to ensure that higher quality education about these ecological issues raises the environmental literacy of the general public. In order to achieve this, teachers need to be trained as well as classroom practice enhanced. This volume focuses on the integration of environmental education into science teacher education. The book begins by providing readers with foundational knowledge of environmental education as it applies to the discipline of science education. It relates the historical and philosophical underpinnings of EE, as well as current trends in the subject that relate to science teacher education. Later chapters examine the pedagogical practices of environmental education in the context of science teacher education. Case studies of environmental education teaching and learning strategies in science teacher education, and instructional practices in K-12 science classrooms, are included. This book shares knowledge and ideas about environmental education pedagogy and serves as a reliable guide for both science teacher educators and K-12 science educators who wish to insert environmental education into science teacher education. Coverage includes everything from the methods employed in summer camps to the use of podcasting as a pedagogical aid. Studies have shown that schools that do manage to incorporate EE into their teaching programs demonstrate significant growth in student achievement as well as improved student behavior. This text argues that the multidisciplinary nature of environmental education itself requires problem-solving, critical thinking and literacy skills that benefit students’ work right across the curriculum.

The goal of environmental education is to increase individuals' ecological knowledge, awareness of associated environmental problems, and motivation to evaluate and implement solutions. This project combined the concepts of environmental education with community service learning to create a new method of curriculum integration: environmental community service learning. The California state standards for environmental education, service learning, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies were integrated into four thematic units using the teaching methodologies of cooperative learning, authentic assessment, and reflection. The integrated, thematic units of this project could be used by educators in a multi-disciplinary, team teaching scenario on in a single classroom setting as either sequential, thematic units of study or independent activities.
