The Nature Conservancy and its 550 scientists have created Nature Works Everywhere to help students learn the science behind how nature works for people-and how they can help keep it running strong. Nature Works Everywhere gives teachers, students and families everything they need to start exploring and understanding nature around the globe, alongside Nature Conservancy scientists. The site includes interactive games and lesson plans just in time for Earth Day on April 22.
