Make your Earth Day lesson meaningful AND fun with this ready-to-use Earth Day PowerPoint / teaching slides. Students will learn what Earth Day is, how it began and what it looks like today before working through a collection of interactive activities designed to get them thinking about how their everyday choices can help or hurt our planet.

Students will become Planet Helpers as they consider real-life scenarios, investigate how long everyday rubbish takes to break down, sort actions into reduce, reuse and recycle, discover why trees are so important and answer fun environmental ‘Would You Rather?’ questions.

Finally, students use old newspaper that could have ended up in the rubbish to create their own Earth Day craft. It’s a simple but powerful way to demonstrate the idea of reusing materials – instead of throwing something away, we can give it a whole new life!
