Here’s what teachers are saying about
Eco 360.
As a science teacher, I am always looking for ways to link aspects of the curriculum to current, real life situations, and the Eco 360 program makes it easier to do this. Particularly since different activities within the program can be directly linked to the curriculum in my province. I would use this program as an extension of the current curricular units, perhaps as a biweekly activity. It links well to outcomes about human impact, stewardship and the consequences of science and technology, which appear in most of the grade levels.
