Appreciating the Earth, Mathematics and Statistics
This April, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Statistics in Schools program provides classroom resources in observance of Earth Day and Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month. Use these activities as an easy way to incorporate real-life data into your science, math, and geography lessons.
 Happy Earth Day!
It is that time of the year to promote environmental awareness!
The Earth Day Fun Facts shares data that are relevant to this special day. Download this fact sheet, along with its complementary teaching guide, for creative classroom activities for all grade levels.
How Human Actions Can Affect the Environment
 Delve into our new geography activity “Examining Changes to the Environment Through Pictures and Data.” In this activity, students look at famous landmarks, such as Times Square and Niagara Falls, to identify human-generated changes in the physical environments across time. This is one of five new geography activities developed for elementary and middle school.
