Distance Learning The Department of Environmental Quality is dedicated to increasing environmental literacy in the state. The Department offers environmental education opportunities to the public and provides teachers and other educators with the training and tools they need to educate others about our environment. In this time of distance learning DEQ’s environmental educators are committed to assisting teachers and students in our state. The purpose of this page is to introduce you to DEQ’s education content that is distance learning compatible. DEQ’s environmental educators are here to support your distance learning needs during this challenging time. Below you will find links to free teacher and student materials for a distance learning activity for your classroom focused on several topics including geology, sedimentation, air quality, and water quality. Each of these topics also has additional educational materials and content you can explore by clicking the Air, Water, Geology, or Sediment squares at the bottom of this page.
