Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K-12 classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary, three-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students investigate the environment around them, with a focus on ways that humans can impact the environment. Working in teams, students will investigate various types of human impact on the environment (including pollution, littering, and habitat destruction), will participate in a classroom recycling program, and will explore the engineering design process as they devise ways to repurpose waste materials. To support this goal, students will do the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify human impacts on the environment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify technological advances and tools that scientists use to learn about the changing environment, and use technology to gather data.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplain, discuss, and express concepts about the environment through development and design of a publication to report their scientific findings about the environment around the school.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eChart and understand local weather patterns, and make connections between weather conditions and their observations of the environment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify and demonstrate recycling practices, including sorting materials and tracking amounts of materials recycled, and participate in a class recycling program.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSTEM Road Map Curriculum Series\u003c\/i\u003e is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning.
