| Students in 7th grade concluded their graphing unit by investigating an environmental issue of their choice. First, students developed an essential question that could be answered with the aid of a graph. These questions related to endangered species, recycling, glacier melt, air and water pollution, renewable energy, and a lot more. |
Then students used their information literacy skills to find reliable websites with the data they needed for their graphs. They compared the information they found on multiple sites in order to determine the best way to present the information. When they had enough data, students created a graph and wrote a conclusion to help their audience understand the answer to their question. Students were engaged in this project because they had freedom to design their question and investigate a topic they wanted to know more about. See the relationship of trash and recycling or sea level and temperature in these reports. Learn about the black rhino population or how human activity affects animal endangerment.
