The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Washington State LASER received a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to upgrade three commonly used elementary science instructional materials with environmental and sustainability concepts. In addition, the upgraded lessons incorporate Native American stories related to science and sustainability.
Native American Story Connections ("how to" guide, recorded stories, and video)
Each upgrade was done by expert professional development providers and vetted by other providers and teachers.
