It is important for students to understand how we can affect
the environment around us. Additionally
we must provide opportunities for students to explore how the environment is
changing around us the more society evolves.
To see how their actions can positively or negatively affect the
environment is something that students can witness first hand, and thus be able
to better understand the long term effects.
Incorporating
this into our unit plan, we have decided to have students, along with creating
their own society, be able to build their society with various materials. In doing so, they will be able to see how the
environment around their civilization is effected as well as how their
civilization is effected by the environment.
It is our hope that from this project. students will understand how we
must work in harmony with nature in order to preserve natural resources and not
harm the planet that we all live on.
