Water Work: Exploring Careers That Shape Our Future
Students will look at slides that describe various water stewardship careers. Based on their own interests and strengths, they will consider which water related career could be a good fit for them.
Where does our water come from and how does it get to us?
This water unit will help students understand that clean reliable water can be a limited resource that has a cost. We will investigate where our local water comes from and how it gets from the source to the faucet, including all the people involved in getting water to our homes.
Amazon Problem Set

Data Analysis of Ocean Acidification
Students will analyze data from ocean acidification and will then create educational posters sharing what they learned.
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.
Invisible Threats: Ocean Acidification and the Climate Connection
Students will be learning about climate change, learning how carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from fossil fuels, volcanos and livestock.
Ocean Acidification: Exploring Math Models to Draw Conclusions
Data collection through a simulation of ocean acidification will demonstrate the effects on coral reefs. Statistical analysis of bivariate data and conclusions of human impact on the environment are central themes.
ReDesigning Spaces
Students work in teams to redesign a student-used area on campus or create a new space, following the design thinking process. They will interview peers, analyze data, and synthesize information to create a “composite user” profile, then present a physical model of their improved space.

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.
