The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is a community resource for education. The Arboretum for Educators newsletter highlights hands-on science lessons and activities that get students outside using their local outdoor classroom, playground, or campus. Many of the lessons can also be conducted by bringing the outside in!
September through June, each monthly newsletter will feature a seasonally-based theme with a key activity for students in Pre-K, Grades 3-5, Middle School, and High School. There will be no newsletters in July and August. See previous newsletters below for examples.
