Environmental Learning Library

Welcome to the Lawrence Hall of Science’s Environmental Learning Resource Library! The following digital collections hold materials developed by the Lawrence Hall of Science along with so many incredible partners. The materials are organized in two distinct libraries: Environmental Learning Instructional Resources, and Capacity Building Resources for Environmental Learning. Is there overlap between instructional resources and capacity building resources? Certainly! Student activities can be used to create and/or supplement professional learning experiences for staff in a number of ways.
