Walk and Roll Day

• This resource outlines the steps students can take to implement a school-wide "Walk and Roll Day" to encourage students and faculty to get to school by biking, taking public transportation, walking, or carpooling. 
  
• It provides easy-to-follow steps to help encourage others to participate in reducing vehicle emissions and improving local air quality. 
  

Positives

• This can be implemented as a stand-alone activity or as a project to accompany lessons about vehicle emissions and their impacts on health and climate change.
• Students could use this as a model for longer-term initiatives, such as a bike-to-school week or a carpooling month.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• The material is available without an account.
  
• Teachers may need approval from the administration for a school-wide activity.

Differentiation

• Students can utilize math and technology skills to analyze the results of their climate action day.
• Language and art skills can be incorporated into this activity by including class presentations, posters, or announcements about the event.
  
• Other activities to consider include enacting a Meatless Mondays program, having a Lights Out Day, or installing a hydration station for refillable water bottles at your school. 
  

The survey could be done independently. It is inappropriate to allow teachers to support in the administration of the survey since they are part of the respondents (sample). Resource is recommended for teaching.
