How to not Procrastinate
How Earth Keepers Could Be Improved
Earth Keepers is an amazing program designed for children and for them to learn about how the ecosystem works, grow to love and respect the Earth and its life-forms, and how to reduce there own carbon footprint. After guiding and teaching in the program, I see that the students will only be affected by what we teach them for only a few days at most. One thing that could be improved is enforcing kids to go play out doors by playing games like hide and seek manhunt, Scavenger hunts, and tag in the forest and or in the field. By enforcing games that get students to explore and run around in the forest, would be more enjoyable than getting out your “Connection Scopes” and looking for things that could be connected. For that instance a scavanger hunt would be most effective and after giving them a list of animals and plants to find they need to find they come back and try to make connections with the animals and plants they found. By saying to go out and explore you community and go take your family on hikes how much affect would that the student and when the child tells his/her parents to go on a hike they will be less engaged and interested then the children, that is why play should be a bigger part of the Earth keeper program. Although Time Caps is a fun learning station to learn about dinosaurs and a little about evolution it is also doesn't really follow what EK is about. Children should know what life was like hundred million years ago but what is not really emphasized is how we are impacting the environment. In the script talks about how the dinosaurs became extinct and how they died off because of lack of food, but what wasn't talked to much about is what we are doing to the planet. About ten- thousand species go extinct each year and most of this is because of Humans creating pollution. While the teacher talks about how there has been life for only a few million years he/ she should talk about how we are
