Earth Day teaching resources help Australian primary teachers explore environmental themes around 22 April each year. Earth Day provides an ideal opportunity to connect classroom learning to real-world sustainability issues, aligning with the Sustainability cross-curriculum priority in the Australian Curriculum. Quality Earth Day resources engage students in understanding environmental challenges and inspire them to take positive action for the planet.
TeachBuySell features Earth Day resources created by Australian primary teachers. Browse activities covering recycling, waste reduction, biodiversity, water conservation, climate awareness, renewable energy, and caring for local environments. You will find worksheets, craft activities, writing prompts, science investigations, and classroom display materials suitable for Foundation through Year 6.
Earth Day resources connect naturally to Science (biological sciences, earth sciences), HASS (geography, civics and citizenship), English (persuasive writing, information texts), and The Arts (environmental art, craft from recycled materials). An Earth Day unit can serve as the centrepiece of a broader sustainability program or provide a focused day of environmental learning. Whether you are organising a school-wide Earth Day event or looking for classroom activities that inspire your students to be environmental stewards, our collection has you covered.
