Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Students will understand how humans depend on Earth’s natural resources, how these resources are unevenly distributed, and how people further affect their distributions.
To Dam or Not to Dam
Students examine the proposed Danville Creek dam as a case study in water management, climate adaptation, and community impact. They research multiple perspectives, explore alternative solutions, and consider environmental, economic, and social factors in evaluating the project.
Water in, Water out, and everything in between
The teacher will open with exploratory questions about how the water we use is brought into the home, and added onto that will be an extension of, “where does it go when it exits the home?” After our introduction students will research different types of water filtration and make a poster.

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.
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.
Implications of global warming on earth's water
Students model Earth’s water resources and cycle, then design computer simulations to explore how rising carbon emissions and pollutants affect water quality and quantity.
Science and Wastewater Management
Students will explore innovative interactive lesson ideas on water management, engaging in hands-on activities and collaborative projects to understand the importance of sustainable practices in conserving and protecting water resources.
Organizing for Environmental Justice in the Bayview
Students explore the Big 6 community leaders and their campaign to close the Heron’s Head power plant, learning strategies and theories of change used in successful activism.
