Resources and Publications
EnviroAtlas provides written resources to introduce users to different components of EnviroAtlas research and tools, including materials for educators, fact sheets, and peer-reviewed publications.
Educational Materials
EnviroAtlas tools can be used in formal and informal educational settings. To help educators use these tools, we have created ready-made lesson plans for every grade level, from kindergarten through undergraduate. They include four lesson modules, student handouts, supplementary activities, and teacher scripts, all of which align with all 50 state science educational standards.
