This Just In: Disney’s Planet Challenge

I just got word on an exciting new program for grades 4–6! Disney’s Planet Challenge is a collaboration between Disney and the National Science Teachers Association. To participate, students identify an environmental challenge in their community and come up with a solution that they manage and document in a portfolio. Visit www.disney.com/planetchallenge for free lesson plans tailored to each state’s standards.

To participate, you must enroll by Friday, December 18, 2009. Project portfolios are due in February 2010. Prizes include a celebration at Disneyland, a chance to meet a Disney Channel star, classroom grants, Disney prize packs, an NSTA membership, and more. Click here now to get all the details!

If you decide to participate, post a comment here to let us know about your project. Thanks!
