LATI Assignment 14.4: Class Proposal Captain Earth
Captain Earth an Earth Superhero
Learn about ways to help the environment through stories and activities to become an Earth Superhero. This is series of 3 ticketed classes for ages 5-9; 45 mins.
August 5 Plants - Healthy Environment:
August 12 Recycle, Reduce, Reuse
August 19 What is Your Carbon Footprint?
Proposed Class: A series of three classes to help children become more environmentally conscious citizens. The first class will look at how plants help the environment and how some plants can tell you more about the air quality. The second class will look at ways to recycle, reduce, and reuse material found around your house so one is not contributing to the landfills. The final class will have the students look at their carbon footprint. A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases and specifically carbon dioxide emitted by something (as a person's activities or a product's manufacture and transport) during a given period. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/carbon%20footprint). The students will also learn about ways to decrease their footprint.
Program Needs and Partners: This program will require information about climate change with respect to the different areas that will be discussed. Also needed, will be the variety of activities to keep the participants engaged. Some of the potential partners for this class would be NASA Climate Day program and Howard County Recycling Program.
HCLS Mission Statement: Mission We deliver high-quality public education for all ages.
Vision: A major component of Howard County's strong education system, we advance the economy, enhancing quality of life.
Event Set-Up Needs: We will need a meeting room with table and chairs. We will also need material that would go along with each of the topics. Hopefully to be donated by the partners.
Evaluation: HCLS has evaluation sheets that customers can complete to let us know what worked/didn't work about the class.
