HP and Scholastic offer a new curriculum titled "Get in the Technology Loop," designed to teach students in grades 4-6 about environmental responsibility. The materials combine real-world issues related to electronics and the environment with lessons in science, math, and language arts.

Students are introduced to the concept of the product lifecycle, environmental issues related to technology, and the roles students and their families can play in environmental responsibility.

Sample lessons and information on the national guidelines and criteria met by the "Get in the Technology Loop" program can be found online at http://content.scholastic.com/browse/unitplan.jsp?id=204.
