Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (Seattle Office) has a digital eInternship Teaching Environmental Education (ECOLEARN) Lesson Plans at elementary schools.  As a eIntern, you will get to teach exciting, already prepared environmental education lesson plans at local elementary schools. We are testing the lesson plans, expanding our outreach and make necessary revisions to the materials as a prelude to sharing them on a national stage.  Lesson topics include: Animals, Air, Water, Ecosystems, Energy, Waste, Food, and Climate.  The specific internship description can be found at http://vsfs.state.gov/projects/view/448..  To apply, read on.
