THESE PROGRAMS ENGAGE PARTICIPANTS IN HANDS-ON LEARNING ABOUT THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THROUGH OUR SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAMS, EDUCATORS VISIT CLASSES TO FACILITATE STANDARDS-BASED CLASSROOM AND OUTDOOR LESSONS FOCUSED ON WATER QUALITY, ENERGY, WASTE REDUCTION/RECYCLING, PLANTS, ANIMALS, AND MORE! THROUGH REPEATED (3-5) LESSONS WITH BGGS EDUCATORS, STUDENTS DEVELOP THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND TAKE ACTION. LESSONS ARE STEM-BASED, YET THEY FEATURE MANY CONNECTIONS WITH LITERACY, ART, AND OTHER DISCIPLINES. LESSONS ALIGN WITH STATE AND NATIONAL ACADEMIC STANDARDS, MOST NOTABLY THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS (NGSS). BGGS EDUCATORS SELECT AND PLAN LESSONS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PARTICIPANTS. ADDITIONALLY, BGGS EDUCATORS FACILITATE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH AT COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS LIBRARY PROGRAMS, SCHOOL SCIENCE NIGHTS, AND FESTIVALS. AT THESE EVENTS, EDUCATORS ENGAGE CHILDREN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS IN HANDS-ON LEARNING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT. 299730 70315 COMMUNITY OUTREACH: BGGS OFFERS OUTREACH TO COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' CONNECTION TO OUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AND HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HOW SMALL BEHAVIOR CHANGES CAN LEAD TO BIG, POSITIVE CHANGES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
