The Environmental Show
(Stuff You Can Do to Help the Environment)

      environmental.jpg (151135 bytes)          Grades 3-6   30 minutes

It's the night before the rock band's last-chance gig---and their old tour bus has broken
down. As they set up a sloppy camp, strange creatures emerge from the woods. Did we
say strange? Enchanted is more like it: plastic bottles, banana skins, light bulbs, and even
a rusted SUV come to life, and they can sing! They've got some great advice for the
rockers on how to change their behavior, save the band, and help the environment.

The Environmental Show teaches students simple things they can do to cut down on
pollution, save water, use less energy, and avoid the landfill.

of Egyptian art and architecure, trade, family life, the role of women, and the nature of kingship.
