I was delighted to discover the excellent online educational resource I am featuring today. I lived in India for about 20 years, and I appreciate the Indian perspective offered here on some of the environmental challenges facing our world. This resource is listed on Content & Curriculum.

kidsRgreen (online resource) This is a quality interactive website from India that is geared toward children in the 5 – 10 age range. With new content being added each month, it is a growing resource for elementary social studies and science education. The focus is on the environment and responsible stewardship of our planet. Spaceship Earth is a monthly environmental magazine, complete with easily accessible archives of previous editions. Let’s Do It!, is a monthly hands on investigative activity, again with previous activities conveniently archived. Green Games is a collection of games and puzzles designed to enhance environmental awareness. Celebrate a Day highlights one day each month and suggests environmental themes for celebrating. For example, this November 20th is “Universal Childrens Day”. Although the site is completely ad-free, you may order from the Green Gifts shop that is hosted by the site. Unfortunately, some of the worthwhile products offered are available only within India.

kidsRgreen is sponsored by the Centre for Environmental Education in Ahmedabad, India. Green Teacher is another website sponsored by CEE that is well worth a look.

NOTE: The kidsRgreen website requires the latest version of Adobe’s FlashPlayer.
