From the Nature Conservancy and NSTA – Nature Works Everywhere

Are you teaching your students about water filtration, renewable energy, or biological interactions? Or have you considered building a school garden to help them understand carbon cycles and living systems? Register today!

Join us to learn about, an online resource center designed to help educators teach students the science behind how nature works through digital education tools, interactive curriculum, and project-based learning that brings nature into the classroom. Hosted by The Nature Conservancy, Nature Works Everywhere gives teachers and students everything they need to start exploring and understanding nature. During the webinar, we will share how the following resources can be used in indoor and outdoor classrooms:

  • NGSS-aligned lesson plans and videos, on topics such as clean air, water, climate change, pollinators and habitat, and more
  • Meet the Scientists videos featuring some of The Nature Conservancy’s 600+ science experts,
  • New digital tools that allow teachers and students to design, measure, and track the conservation impact of a school garden, helping educators turn their outdoor spaces into living science laboratories.
