6th - 8th Grade Module 15 Concept PT
Cycle 1
Students will revisit the drop in the bucket demonstration from the beginning of the module, and use evidence from their learning to consider how humans are impacting the environment, and what measures can be taken to minimize these impacts.
Students will explore an example of a local school community that has identified an environmental impact, and designed a solution to minimize the impact.
Students will complete audits to determine environmental impacts within their local school community. Students will obtain information about various environmental focus areas, including: consumption and waste, water, climate change, and biodiversity.

Students will share the results of their audits with the class, and determine one environmental focus areas, or pathway to concentrate on. Students will create a class action plans detailing how to decrease an environmental impact within the chosen focus area.

Students will develop presentations to disseminate information from their action plans to stakeholders in the school community. The community members will determine the feasibility of each proposal, and vote on a grade level environmental focus area.
Students will implement the chosen action plan. They will monitor and evaluate the success of the implementation over time, in order to check progress and adjust the plan for greater success.

Students will share their school environmental impact project with the larger regional community, in order to engage others in environmental stewardship practices.
For the Performance Task, students will utilize information gained from all three concepts in order to answer the original driving question: How can I as a student design a solution to an environmental problem in my local community?
