Present the results in the form of an essay, display, or collage. Generate a list of the foods students ate for lunch. Choose one food item and trace it back to its origins - including where and how it was grown, was harvested, transported, packaged, and was made available to the consumer. Make a simple flow chart. Add to the flow charts possible and likely impacts to wildlife and their environment along the path their food took to get to them.
Students share their flow charts with the class.
Students describe possible consequences for people and wildlife under conditions of urban development. Each group will decide where they want their land - negotiate with the urban planners and ecologists. Describe how the land will be used. Environmental considerations in land use planning for cities is critically important. Ask the students to close their eyes and visualize the community in which they live.
