From the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences comes Kids Environment, Kids Health "a resource for kids, parents, and teachers, to find fun and educational materials related to health, science, and the environment we live in today." These resources can be browsed by topics including Environment and Health, Healthy Living, and The Natural World. Alternatively, visitors can search this collection by type of resource (Games, Activities, Lesson Plans). One strength of this resource is that it engages youth with important and complex contemporary issues that scientists and citizens alike think about (including environmental justice, scientific communication, and epidemiology) in a way that is simultaneously accessible and thorough. This resource includes both online activities as well as hands-on activities that can be adapted and used in homes, classrooms, and out of school learning environments such as libraries and summer camps.
