Course Description

The environment is everything around you. It makes up the world you live in. People's attitude can help or harm the environment. Not knowing how they can help is part of the problem. It is required that children know certain Environment Facts at home or for school. This course will meet those requirements. This course is written in simple layman terms, but more advanced facts are presented in this manner. The younger ones can learn right along with the older students. Using many different learning skills, in the form of games, printout lessons, and additional activities, we will show you how you can help protect your environment.

All About the Environment with online instructor Jill Manzoni teaches different components in the conservation of our environment. Using learning skills such as Reading, Spelling, History, Art, Math, Science, critical thinking, and more, students will understand easy ways to incorporate methods of recycling and conservation into their daily lives.

Students will read the lessons, then go to the assignment page and follow the directions. There are polls, quizzes, and a final test to complete. Posting in the forum is not required, but will earn extra credits. Reading materials will be included in the lessons and assignments. There are links to internet games and to numerous activities. If any reading material is added to the class, participants will be notified by email. Each assignment, quiz and the final test have questions with point values. For each correct answer, students will accumulate 10 points or more, toward their final score.
