Death Valley: A Case Study of Earth Systems Interactions on Climate
This is a very thorough student driven investigation intended to show the inter-relationships between weather concepts as well as the interactions of earth's major systems. How does the Pacific ocean, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and prevailing winds make death valley one of the most inhospitable places on earth? Students will calculate, research, and take data to delve deep into applying concepts including humidity, phase change, latent heat, lifting, adiabatic lapse rates, and trends of temp

Recycled Art Project for Science Students
This was developed as part of a Waste unit for an Environmental Science class I was teaching at an arts school. It is intended to be an integrative and interdisciplinary hands-on approach to introducing concepts of reusing and recycling nonrenewable resources. This is a group project that works ideally with 4-8 groups of 4 students. The resource includes both a group sheet (one per group) and an individual sheet (one per student). Both sheets have rubrics. As students worked, I walked around wit

High School — Lesson 1: Water Resources and Water Footprints
This lesson gives students an in-depth understanding of key water issues. They learn about water resources and water footprints, then use the Water Footprint Calculator to analyze their direct and virtual water consumption. Students get a foundation of knowledge and learn why they should care about protecting water resources, which makes it easier for them to make a fundamental shift in attitude about their water use. Designed for high school – upper secondary level, ages 15 to 18 – the lessons
