Eco-Schools USA

Eco-Schools USA is framework for implementing and measuring sustainability initiatives and progress. The Eco-Schools program helps students, schools, and the larger school community better understand what it means to be socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. Through Eco-Schools, students learn more about environmental issues and explore ways in which they can apply that learning to lead more sustainable lives and improve sustainability practices in the classroom and beyond.

ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager

Free Outdoor Air Quality Monitor!

An Air Quality Monitor (AQM) creates the possibility for schoolyards to become an outdoor classroom and learning landscape with multiple educational opportunities. The sensor data and data maps are directly accessible via an Internet connection. Using digital programs to view the data, students can visualize the mostly invisible properties of the airborne particulates, temperature, moisture, barometric pressure that are occurring just outside in their schoolyard. The data measurements from environmental sensors are logged then stored and remain accessible to every virtual or in-person classroom. 

 

 

 

Ready Rowhome Climate Education Kit

These models help engage Delawareans young and old in climate change issues. Activities can be done in virtually any setting, and the time can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of users. 

Climate change means Delaware is getting hotter; so much so that scientists predict we could experience as many as 3 additional weeks of days over 90° by the 2020s. And with scientists predicting increased heavy downpours due to climate change, one might ask, what does this really look like, and what can be done about it? In these activities, participants simulate heavy downpours and extreme heat on a model block to see how traditional methods of dealing with weather events may no longer be sufficient. Participants are then given the opportunity to design the block, seeing how the materials we used to build with can lessen the impact of a changing climate.

Requests need to be made two weeks in advance.
