Earth Day falls on April 22 each year, and this word search covers the ideas that go with it: recycle, reuse, compost and conserve, renewable energy and solar power, and the pollinators that so many plants depend on. With 30 words, it fits into a single class period.
The leftover letters answer a riddle that only works if you know what logging in means: how do trees get online? Words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards (about right for grades 3 to 5).
Open either version as a PDF by clicking it. Page two is the answer key.
