This ETP outlines a three-day lesson, consisting of one 55-minute and two 102-minute block periods, centered around the analysis of audio data.
Students will brainstorm and notice the ways they use water and importance to their lives and community. Students will develop a solution for using a limited water supply in their lives, as well as how to reduce contaminants and conserve their supply.
Students will uncover the hidden histories of their school and neighborhood—once a PG&E processing site, built on landfill, and an evacuation center after the 1989 earthquake. Using the Question Formulation Technique, they’ll explore three themes: liquefaction, water, and power.
Student interest leads to research and reporting about water industry career pathways.
The impact of water usage and the importance of conservation and stewardship is interpreted through a children’s book.
After thinking about the impact of humans on the environment, and researching microclimates in Monterey County, students will create a sustainable open space that would also meet the needs of the community.
Students explore Indigenous perspectives on stewardship, land trust, and restoration, examining how First Nation laws and values inform sustainable practices and equitable access to water, energy, and land.
