Project Learning Tree Explore Your Environment

Saturday, July 16, 2022
9:00am - 4:00pm


Join other K-8 classroom and nonformal educators as we explore activities in the newly released Project Learning Tree Explore Your Environment K-8 Activity Guide. Every participant will leave the workshop with a copy of this guide that includes 50 hands-on, multidisciplinary activities to connect children to nature and increase young people’s awareness and knowledge about their environment.  The activities in this resource are supported by a robust Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) correlation guide. 


This workshop counts toward NC Environmental Education Certification (Criteria I) and consists of six contact hours that may count toward CEUs for teachers.


The registration fee includes Aquarium admission, use of classroom space, and instruction. The PLT activity guides are provided free of charge to participants through support from the NC Forestry.


Help keep our seas plastic-free! Please bring a waste free lunch, a reusable water container, and a coffee cup. SharkBites will be open for on-site purchases.

Join beach patrols to monitor turtle nests, kayak through an estuary reserve, and help monitor coastal habitats. Explore sea turtle anatomy through a necropsy demonstration.
