Planet Protector Teacher Materials

 
It is critical to integrate a field trip such as Planet Protectors into the curriculum and classroom experience to maximize the learning and impact for students. To that end, we have developed a detailed teacher manual and set of pre and post activities to help facilitate this process. Please download the materials and contact Andrea Gibson-Garrett (Valley Waste Managment) if there are any questions.
