Web-Surfing Sunday: Keeping it green
Tuesday is Earth Day. There are lots of sites around for kids, but a surprisingly nice one comes from the folks at the EPA. It's a jump-off point for science experiments, lessons about earth and water, and more. You can figure out how recycling works at Recycle City. In the Energy Quest Room, learn how to avoid being an "energy vampire."
Parents might learn a thing or two from the quiz about chemicals around your house.
Do you have favorite sites to help us all get ready for Earth Day? Please share below.

I love the term "energy vampire"--both my kids are Halloween babies and concrete thinkers; they'll go wild for that verbiage!
Getting ready for tomorrow involves some really simple, low-tech activities (maybe it's the ex-Kindergarten teacher in me): baking an Earth Day cake together, transferring our tomato and herb seedlings, making Happy Earth Day cards and a collage with all the materials in our recycling bin, then visiting my kids' favorite place ON earth--the Recycling Center and Swap Shop at the landfill!
