To help spread the word about keeping our planet green this Earth Day, Google has joined forces with Scholastic to provide lesson plans for kids to learn about Earth Day and its messages.

As written in the official Google blog:

Using Google Earth, teachers can fly their students around the world to talk to them about issues like climate change and how it has affected places like Glacier National Park, the Chesapeake Bay and Los Angeles. And they can introduce students to community initiatives across the country where volunteers are cleaning up their cities, planting trees and beautifying. Using Google Earth, teachers can show their students placemarks of the towns where outreach projects are taking place and students can get involved in cleaning up their own environment.

Here’s the Google Earth-Scholastic link in question.
