NameActivity 1Activity 2Activity 3Activity 4
Barbara AdamsCarbon dioxide sources in the atmosphere (climate change)The peppered moth (environmental change)Alka seltzer rockets (air pressure)
Sistie BenderIn teams, develop a concept map that shows the relationship of variables that affect soils' ability to retain water (or variables that affect global warming). Teams will make an oral presentation to justify their reasoning.After reading a newspaper article that reports about new technology in students' everyday world and the science behind the technology, the students will determine if the newspaper article supports or does not support he following idea: "Developments of science and technology affect the condition of life."
Jody Bertolucci"What's the Net Worth" - Rainforest Destruction, Interconnections, Competitive Exclusion."Can't See the Forest Without the Trees" - Population Growth and Sustainable Development."Resource Round-Up" - Population Growth and Resource Depletion.
Esther BrinsonEffects of climate change on soil characterization a comparison of two areas of different latitudes.Urban growth as it relates to temperature change, weather patterns, water, air quality, etc.El Nino and its effects on climate change.

(I can present any of these and have them all on disk so they can be printed out quickly. They are also "Lowry-originals" and I am happy to share them. Let me know which will be best or if I need to try and come up with something else.)
