Welcome
to Nebraska Project PLT and Project WET!
Nebraska
Project Learning Tree (PLT) and Project Water
Education for Teachers (WET) are international award
winning environmental education programs. PLT and Project WET
use hands-on learning activities that are appropriate for formal
and nonformal educators working with children in grades Pre K
through 12. These activities incorporate important environmental
lessons into all disciplines including the sciences, mathematics,
fine arts, social studies, language arts, music and physical education.
PLT
uses the forest as a "window on the world" to increase
students' understanding of our complex environment. PLT teaches
not only about trees, but has informative lessons about land,
air and water. These lessons help to instill in students the confidence
and commitment to take responsible action on behalf of the environment.
Project
WET is a collection of innovative, water-related activities
that are hands-on, easy to use, and fun! Providing a thorough
water education program, the activity guide also addresses water’s
chemical and physical properties, quantity and quality issues,
aquatic wildlife, ecosystems, and management strategies. Project
WET activities promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills
and help provide young people with the knowledge and experience
they will need to make prudent decisions regarding water resource
use. |
