Earth day is celebrated every year on April 22. It’s the day of the year people celebrate all the wonderful things we all get from our beautiful blue planet.

Lets spread the  spread the principles behind things like “Reuse, Reduce, Recycle!” That said here are  some resources and some  printables.

Magic School Bus: Nature Bundle

Magic school Bus is all about experimentation, and where better to explore than out in nature’s lap?

Little explorers get to build a bug house, recreate the water cycle, design solar spinners, play the animal tracks game, and learn so much about their surroundings!

All under Ms. Frizzle’s supervision, of course.

Earth Day experimentation at its best!
