Natural Resources and Sustainability - Updated Earth Science Standard
Next Generation Science Standards: Earth and Space Science - Earth Systems 9th-12thGrade
(HS-ESS3-3): "Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity."
(HS-ESS3-3): "Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity."
Identify how you could integrate global perspectives/competencies into each standard.
Global competencies can be supported as students use technology to create a simulation and/or illustration. Global perspectives can be developed as students investigate relationships among natural resource management and human sustainability in various parts of the world.
Explain specific lesson plan modifications for each standard in order to demonstrate global perspectives/competencies (indicate which global competencies you are targeting)
· Compare and contrast natural resources produced by various countries. (Investigate the World)
· Investigate the impact of management practices in various parts of the world. (Investigate the World)
· Compare and contrast biodiversity in various parts of the world. (Investigate the World)
· Debate the pros and cons of various management practices. (Recognize Perspectives; Communicate Ideas)
· Collaborate in a team to use technology to create a simulation and/or illustration of the relationships among natural resource management and human sustainability in a selected part of the world. (Recognize Perspectives; Communicate Ideas)
· Investigate fair trade practices and create a public service video outlining the role of fair trade in sustaining human populations or select a fair trade organization to support. (Take Action)
Summative assessment
Use a rubric such as the WVDE multimedia presentation rubric to evaluate student projects described above.
