Local hunters are also concerned because the Browns let them hunt on the property and the new owners of the land may not let people hunt or may even develop the land and change the elk use patterns. Your task is to develop a coordinated resource group to develop a possible solution to the problem. Students explain how humans influence the environment in the areas of water use, air quality, and mining. Students use scientific vocabulary, mathematics, and technology to communicate information and resultsthroughoral, written, and visual formats. Students exhibit ethical awareness to recognize the nature and characteristics of science and technology.
Students explore options for a career in scientific or technical fields.
8.6.4 Students apply the interdisciplinary relationships of science to social, economic, and political issues. During this class period they will also be divided into groups and given a role to play. They will be encouraged to visit a local C.R.M. group if one meets in their area so that they can see the process in action and learn about the perspective of their particular character. During a second class period students will work within their groups to discuss possible solutions to the problem - from the perspective of their character. After a week of research, another class period will be used for students to collaborate on the research.
