Welcome to the Environmental Education Exchange
The Environmental Education Exchange is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established to increase environmental literacy. Since 1991 the Exchange has developed a wide variety of conservation and environmental education programs and materials. Topics and themes for programs have included water conservation, recycling and waste reduction, biodiversity, endangered species, land use issues, commercialism and the environment, air quality, Sonoran Desert ecology, solar energy, mining and minerals, science literacy, special multicultural/border programs, renewable energy and more. The majority of resulting programs and materials are available free to educators or other intended audiences. Because the Exchange specializes in program design (and is not primarily a program provider), these products generally are distributed or presented by partner agencies and organizations for which they were developed.
Featured: Da Drops
Da Drops is a three-part water education program specifically designed for first through third grade learners. It focuses on the water cycle, water supply, and water conservation in the Tucson Basin. Students complete three pre-visit activities, and then participate in a lively, hands-on, one-hour presentation conducted in the classroom. Students are given a small cup to use for brushing their teeth and saving water at home. The final aspect of the program is a booklet of exciting activities to reinforce students’ newly acquired understandings. The presentation and related activities are aligned with ADE standards. Da Drops is sponsored by Tucson Water and offered free of charge to Tucson-area teachers and students. Materials can be downloaded and presentations can be scheduled at www.outreach-scheduling.org.
