Project Learning Tree is excited to expand our curriculum and professional development opportunities to include Treemendous Science! for grades K-2. This self-contained unit of instruction is fully online, making it easy for teachers to access and use.
Whether you regularly use the outdoors as a classroom or tend to hesitate every time you take your class outside, this unit is an invitation to increase the quantity and quality of your K-2 learners’ contact with nature and trees.
Treemendous Science! students will explore, experience, observe, and collect tree data to develop understandings about how trees grow, the roles trees play in ecological systems, and the ways in which trees and humans interact.
Hands-On Activities
Get students excited about science through hands-on activities, rather than simply memorizing facts.
Meets NGSS Standards
The e-units are constructed around targeted performance expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Flexible Curriculum
The curriculum is organized around three levels geared to children’s different stages of development.
Project Learning Tree ’s e-units feature comprehensive, interactive connections to academic standards: Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Math, and the C3 Framework for Social Studies.
Receive access to this new supplemental curriculum in conjunction with professional development. Attend an in-person professional development workshop in your state, or purchase an online training with the accompanying e-unit for $40 from shop.plt.org.
Teachers who subscribe to an e-unit from Project Learning Tree will have access to quality learning activities any time, anywhere.
