Welcome to Virtual Earth Day
This year’s Earth Day celebration is all about Planes, Rain, and the Atmosphere! Our online platform features videos, science experiments, art activities, and Q&A sessions with Airport professionals, scientists, and engineers. Online and interactive content includes climate, aviation, water treatment, sustainability, wildlife, and other amazing STEAM topics.
The Environmental Affairs Department (EAD) designed DFW Airport Earth Day to bring science alive for students in the virtual world. While all Earth enthusiasts are welcome, content was developed to align with the State of Texas TEKS for K-12 students.
In 2021, we are embracing citizen science, or public participation in scientific research, with the goal of contributing meaningful data about ecosystems while also stimulating scientific curiosity and enthusiasm for the natural world. Schools are able to register for remaining STEAM activity kits designed to supplement the content available on the DFW Earth Day 2021 virtual event platform. Watch for the opportunity to request new STEAM activity kits throughout the month of April. Activity kits and online content have been selected to connect specific educational components to processes and work at DFW Airport.
