Earth Science, Technology for the Planet, and Human Impact on Earth Systems
TENTATIVE SUSTAINABILITY UNIT 2023 - 24
Sustainability: Honorable harvest, clam gardens
Intro to Climate change? What are some causes?
Calculate your carbon footprint.
Research a method of energy production
What is the Impact of Global warming?
Research an event
how can we mitigate? Control burns, plants, berms, trench, drought, heat dome, fire, flood, hurricane
How are oceans affected?
Ocean acidification demo
Ocean currents - Density Lab
What can we do: Technology: Recycling, plastic alternatives, GMO, eat less meat, How do we go green, fish farms, Honorable harvest, story of stuff
What will you do? Present your alternative. Evaluate for you and others. Reflect
Capstone- info graphic: Describe climate change, causes, impact, what we can do – big and small. Could also watch Story of stuff to add.
Other: Forever chemicals
Earth Science:
Plate tec
Layers, demo – convection, maybe they can teach, ring of fire map, volcano girl,
