Tips for using this bulletin board activity in your classroom:
- Review each Earth fact then assign a fact to one or two students. They will research and find out more information, then present it to the class and post it on the bulletin board using the included research paper.
- Have students find other interesting Earth facts that deserve to be on the bulletin board. Students research that fact, then present to the class and post their information on the bulletin board.

2. Earth Day Mystery Graphing Activity
The coordinate graphing pictures vary in length and difficulty and include:
- Earth with Heart- easiest

Why should teachers use this Earth Day activity in their classroom?
- Both sets of graph papers required for the activity are included.
- Perfect for early finishers, sub plans or homework.
