How can "I" make an impact that matters? This mini-course/project is based upon the NGSS Standards for Human Sustainability (HS ESS3-4 and 3-6). The learner will have an opportunity to create as they develop a deeper understanding of the science related to climate change. The project-based activity where the learner will produce two items: 1. A product: The learners will use data to illustrate the relationship between human behavior and Earth's Systems. 2. A Solution: Next they will identify a current technology/practice that is intended to lessen the human impact, analyze it, and then suggest an improvement or replacement. There are many possible answers and the focus of learning will be on the student's ability to think and act like a Scientist. Students will receive resources and feedback but are also encouraged to find additional resources. This course will be supported by utilizing Trello and Google Drive.
