This ETP is a problem set designed to introduce students to jobs and tasks in business operations. The problems are based on work done in Amazon Lab126’s Sustaining Operations department.
Students explore ocean acidification through a hands-on experiment, calculating rates and using linear equations to model how changing pH levels impact marine life, connecting math concepts to NOAA’s mission of understanding ocean health.
Students will analyze data from ocean acidification and will then create educational posters sharing what they learned.
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.
Students will use Ocean Acidification to generate data for graphing activities in math class. This math lesson will have students read, create, and compare information from box and whisker graphs.
Students will be learning about climate change, learning how carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from fossil fuels, volcanos and livestock.
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.
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.
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.
