Five hands-on, student-driven investigations are at the heart of the PLT GreenSchools program. Using critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, students will analyze their school’s energy, water, school site, waste and recycling, and environmental quality.
Register or log in to access each investigation individually, or purchase a print copy of the complete set.
The results of the PLT GreenSchools Investigations will help students identify areas where improvements can be made to make their school greener and healthier, and in many cases save money.
