About the EnviroChallenger Program

When you need engaging, high-quality environmental science lessons, bring in the EnviroChallengers.

The EnviroChallenger program teaches free environmental lessons with a mix of science, social responsibility and fun in Tacoma's second through eighth grade classrooms. All the lessons include supplies and support state standardized test objectives.

Lessons are also available to home-schooled students in Tacoma.

Elementary School Lessons

We have six lessons for students from second through fifth grade.  Our EnviroChallenger educators will come to your school and teach up to five lessons in the day.  As a teacher, you may schedule up to three lessons a year in your own classroom. For each day you schedule, work with other second through fifth grade teachers in your school to book a full day of lessons, if possible. It’s easiest to work with one teacher who coordinates all of your school’s lessons.

Check out the EnviroShorts video series to give you a look into where your waste goes and several topics that the EnviroChallengers cover. Our short videos on trash, food and yard waste, recycling, hazardous waste, wastewater and a visit to the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center demonstrate that nothing is truly wasted.
