Green Map's Energy & Environment Exploration Modules are designed to help middle and high school age youth experience and interpret their community's energy and environment from a sustainability perspective.

These timely resources are adaptable for different learning objectives and time frames. Each illustrated module includes:

• learning objectives,
• indoor and outdoor mapmaking tips and field reports,
• vocabulary, essay and discussion suggestions,
• activities to chart environmental assets and address important skills, topics and issues related to sustainability.

Educators and youth group leaders can copy an entire module or just the relevant page(s) for your students or use them on computer screens. The Educator's Guide is provided in text format so you can edit and adapt sections, as needed, or blend them into ongoing curriculum or projects.

These Modules are provided free to educators and youth group leaders during the 2008-2009 school year. By using these modules, students will gain a first-hand understanding of these complicated themes and how to make everyday choices that are more sustainable. You'll also get a 'taste' of Green Mapmaking, which we hope will lead towards registration of a full-scale mapmaking project.
