In this activity, students use chocolate candies to create pie graphs that show their understanding of the composition of air. They discuss why knowing this information is important to engineers and how engineers use this information to improve technology to better care for our planet.

This website has lots to offer - people and places to visit and plenty of ways to explore how the city's residents recycle, reduce, and reuse waste. Students can click on any section of Recycle City that they want to tour, or click on the Dumptown Game. They can also create their own Recycle City scavenger hunt or go to the Activities area to see other ways they can explore.

Help students explore an important moment of environmental activism in North Carolina with Save Our Sand Dunes by Hannah Bunn West and with Ann-Cabell Baum. This complementary learning guide to the book is designed to help educators guide young readers in discovering how Carolista Baum rallied a community and advocated for local and state leaders to preserve Jockey's Ridge.

In this activity, students play a board game in which players try to ensure the survival of their animal species while dealing with problems (such as habitat destruction, pollution, or natural disasters) the animals encounter during the game. Prior to the game, the book Brother Eagle, Sister Sky by Susan Jeffers should be read aloud to the students and used to engage student thinking about human and environmental impact on animal survival.

Students are introduced to the sound environment as an important aspect of a room or building. Several examples of acoustical engineering design for varied environments are presented. Students learn the connections between the science of sound waves and engineering design for sound environments.

This is lesson 6 of 6 lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson uses puzzle exploration to informally review the names of shapes, its main goal is to recognize that students must persevere when problem solving.

This lesson focuses on "visualization". This includes being able to identify geometric shapes in the environment. As students begin to see geometry in their world, the content becomes more relevant and interesting to them.

After reading the book "Shapes", students discuss attributes of shapes and take a shape walk.

One of the four goals in geometry is Visualization, this includes being able to identify geometric shapes in the environment. As students begin to see geometry in their world, the content becomes more relevant and interesting to them.

This is lesson 1 of 6 lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson meets standard NC.K.G.1, its primary goal is for students to start noticing math in the world. A secondary goal is to begin establishing norms for math class.

Looking at transportation and the environment, students learn that some human-made creations, such as vehicles, can harm the environment. They also learn about alternative fuels and vehicles designed by engineers to minimize pollution. The associated hands-on activity gives students a chance to design their own eco-friendly vehicle.

Individual bacteria with trait variations that allow them to survive exposure to antibiotics, reproduce. Over time this leads to a shift in the distribution of traits in bacteria populations, so that those variations become more prevalent over time.

How did the bacteria population become more resistant in Addie and in our community? Review lessons/IMTs

You will use Google maps to continue to investigate the two different environments that you were introduced to in the juncos case you are studying in class. This page shows you how to use the map view, satellite view, and street view options for exploring UCSD. Record your observations for this environment on this page. The back page provides the same for Mt. Laguna.

What are we hoping to figure out by looking for evidence for how the UCSD campus environment has changed over time?

We can pick up bacteria from many of the places we interact with every day. A single application of antiseptics does not kill all the bacteria on us or on a surface.

How does carbon dioxide affect the environment? Review video, "How Tree Planting Can Help Reverse Climate Change," in this lesson.

Factors explaining why the buffalo and wildebeest populations responded in different ways to changes in their environment will be discussed in this lesson.
