• National Environmental Education Week | Service Learning
  Service-learning and environmental education share many basic goals. At their best, both engage students in experiential learning that results in student-driven action to improve their communities. Studies* show that both service-learning and environmental education improve students' sense of achievement, increase their academic success (including standardized test scores), and help to develop their problem-solving and leadership skills.

• National High Magnetic Field Laboratory - Current Flow Tutorial
  Current Flow This tutorial illustrates how the flow of water through a system of pipes can be used to understand the flow of current through an electric circuit. Here blue particles represent the flow of water, moving as electrons do through a circuit to create electricity. The rate of water flow, defined as the volume of the fluid moving past a certain point in a fixed amount of time, is comparable to the rate of charge passing a point in a circuit (electric current), which is measured in amperes (coulombs/second).

• PS41 » The Garden Program
  Our students were studying plants and there was no outside area at school for them to actually dig into the ground. What started out initially as a few wooden containers has evolved over the years into a garden oasis that has not only beautified our school, but has also become an important learning environment and wildlife habitat. By giving our students the opportunity to grow produce from seeds while observing and nurturing them , they can understand the importance of “farm to table” and have a greater appreciation of where their food comes from.
