May Your Poop Live On
Students will explore the differences between linear and circular systems and the implications. They will visit a transfer station and learn about circular and linear systems.
Collection
Water
When is too much water?
Students explore how water is treated, stored, and conserved, using real-world scenarios to calculate volumes of aquifers and treatment storage.
Hiring Request for Main Break Repair Team
Students will apply operations with rational numbers to a real-world hiring scenario, analyzing salaries and budgets to assemble a main break repair team while considering education, experience, and cost-effectiveness.
Environmental Injustices
Students use data and maps to investigate environmental injustices across San Francisco districts, applying two-way tables to quantitatively explore the lasting impacts of historical redlining on communities.
The Price of a Sip
Students will compare potable water (tap, bottled, mineral), its cost, taste, safety, and unseen costs (consequences) of drinking certain types of water. They will use the data to determine which is the least expensive (most accessible), safest, eco-friendly.
Temperature vs Water Use
Students use real city data to create tables and scatter plots, calculate trends and balance points, and analyze the relationship between monthly water use and temperature, applying math skills to a real-world water management scenario.
Groundwater Graphing
Students analyze the graph to identify relationships among population, groundwater elevation, and land surface elevation.
