Earth Day 2020

Earth Day 2020 will be different from Earth Day activities in the past.  With the Corona virus keeping us away from our students we've had to get creative with our activities. But we're determined to keep educating our students about the importance of being a good custodian of the Earth.  Premier Homeschool Consultants is offering online education opportunities through Outschool so we can reach children all around the world.  Check out some of our classes below:

Twisted planet: analyze the environmental impact of protein food sources

​Let's celebrate Earth Day by learning about the environmental impact of our food choices. In this class students will watch a brief slideshow and listen to a lecture as I explain the global rise of protein consumption. After this I will guide students through the environmental impact of raising 1 pound each of beef, pork, poultry, and soy through a hands-on activity. Students will create a visual representation of the resources required for each of these foods. Additionally we will work as a group to analyze line graphs that represent the past, present, and future rate of protein consumption. After these are complete we will discuss as a class the impact our food choices have on the environment and what we can do in the future to make environmentally friendly choices.

Twisted numbers: how much water do you eat?

​Have you ever wondered about how much water it takes to grow some of your favorite foods? In this class learners will watch a brief slideshow and listen to a quick lecture about the amounts of water taken to grow produce and meats. Once students have a basic understanding of this concept they will look at the water used to create a typical American menu and compare it to their own typical food choices. We will then discuss some simple changes we can make to our diets to cut down on water consumption. This class should be a fun and informative way to practice addition and subtraction skills as well as learn more about our planet.
