In this lesson, students develop a model of the earth’s surface and use it to discover an important principle about how rivers work.
Students will be able to make observations about the trash in a creek behind our playground and collect data on the type of trash in the creek. Does it come from homes or is it wrappers from students’ snacks?
Students will use digital tools to investigate and analyze our local watershed. Through collaborative small group discussions, they will evaluate and identify point and non-point sources of pollution impacting the watershed's health.
