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.
Restoration Evaluation
Students will be able to observe and measure the built wetlands habitat and describe the ecosystem interactions as well as evidence of resilience.
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 collect water samples from a local stream and measure various aspects of water quality.
What's My Water Footprint?
Students will learn about the importance of water, our water needs and usage, water treatments and conservation.
Hiring Request for Main Break Repair Team
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.
May Your Poop Live On
Students will explore the differences between linear and circular systems and the implications. They will visit a transfer station and learn about circular and linear systems.
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.
