New School Integrated Pest Management Curriculum Website up!
The Northeastern School IPM Working Group is pleased to announce that their new ?Integrated Pest Management Curriculum? website for K-12 teachers is now up and running! The website features terrific classroom learning modules, activities and resources collected from around the US, as well as newly developed lessons designed for use in a school greenhouse setting. Many of the lessons are aligned with national and state science, math and language arts standards. Integrated Pest Management education is a great way to engage students in learning and problem solving using current environmental and agricultural issues such as invasive species, food and fiber production, and environmental stewardship. How do ticks and mosquitoes spread diseases? Why are bees so important to our food supply? How can we keep our school greenhouse and gardens pest-free without pesticides?

EPA Releases Brand New K-12 Responsible School Chemical Management Video
In kindergarten through grade 12 schools across the nation, students and school personnel use chemicals every day to learn, to create, and to maintain facilities.But when chemicals aren’t carefully managed, they can put students and school personnel at risk from spills, fires, and other accidental exposures.
With the release of a new educational video, "Safe Chemical Management in Your School,"the Environmental Protection Agency and its partners are making kindergarten through grade 12 schools safer places to learn, work, and play.
EPA has teamed up with schools and community partners in Rhode Island, Colorado, and Wyoming to bring models of responsible chemical management programs to schools across the country.
For more information on responsible chemical management in schools and to watch the new video, "Safe Chemical Management in Your School," please visit: www.epa.gov/SC3.
In addition to identifying steps to build a responsible chemical management program, the video features real life examples of schools and their community partners that are working towards permanent chemical management solutions.
