Earth Day is a special day that celebrates the beauty and diversity of our planet, while also raising awareness about the environmental issues it faces today. In honor of our planet, we’ve compiled a list of fun Earth Day-inspired STEAM activities that students have done in the classroom and beyond.
From learning about sustainability and environmental responsibility to discovering the secrets of planetary orbits and understanding the complexities of our solar system, these students are coding Evo to make a positive impact on the planet!
Evo in Orbit
Jill’s students are reaching for the stars with their latest space exploration project – coding Evo to explore the moon’s orbit around Earth! The sky’s not the limit for these students.
Did you know that the Moon orbits Earth at varying speeds? The 5th graders @greensview_elem coded an @ozobot to show the Moon’s orbit around Earth. @UACoachClark @ckish23 @UA_Schools pic.twitter.com/bszJ6yaKNd

3…2…1…Blast off!
The universe is vast and full of wonder! These students are using their coding skills to explore it all by coding Evos to journey through the planets’ orbits.

Coding for a Cause
Mrs. Clifton’s classroom was coding a cleaner future last Earth Day. Their clean-up activity not only makes our planet healthier but also teaches students to work together to make a positive impact on Earth, one line of code, and one piece of litter, at a time.
Earth Day 🌎 Stations: oil spill clean up, clean water pipeline, recyclebot with @Ozobot, and simple machines to clean up litter with @VEXRobotics! @MunfordElem @TCBOE #LeadingTheWay #solvingrealworldproblems pic.twitter.com/mPpQv2FWr5

Power to our Planet
These students are coding for change at the JER Science Center! We’re proud of their commitment to tackle severe weather and climate change issues over their spring break.
Spending our #SpringBreak hosting @LHS_SMCPS at the #Science Center! Had a great morning with @ozobot activities, severe weather, climate change on the @NOAA_SOS, and of course a planetarium show! #SevereWeather @CCPS #ScienceIsFun pic.twitter.com/SYNhlAM1a1

Eco-warriors!
These students are becoming eco-warriors! By learning about waste recycling, they’re making a positive impact on our planet and putting it into practice, coding Evo to manuever around a sustainability map.
Earth Day also with @Ozobot, which helps us reflect on waste recycling#RECYCLEbot #earthday pic.twitter.com/mpbAJ7UZIl
