習熟度評価

週あたり 1-2 時間. Students are evaluated on mastery of learning goals as evidenced by preparation for class and verbal contributions to discussion and debate during class. Students will have the opportunity to contribute at least once during class. Parents will receive monthly feedback, more frequent if necessary, to encourage participation. Verbal participation is required and will be highly supported by facilitator, as needed, until students are comfortable with expressing their ideas with more independence.

修了証書

Each book will be followed by another selection from the climate science/environmental subject area. This course is a prerequisite for following selections and will be offered on a rotating basis throughout the year.

This journey is neither intended to nor will it tell students what to think. It is a journey of discovery intended to inform and help students evaluate, understand, and deepen their understanding of science and the environment.

受講の前提条件

An understanding of the scientific method and basics of science are helpful but this will be a learning experience related to environmental science and climate with teaching opportunity for certain topics.

受講に必要なもの

Unsettled by Steven E. Koonin.  We wil be referencing and marking the text so I recommend a hard copy of the book, new or used.  Available on Amazon approximately $12 USD. The e-book is an option if you are comfortable highlighting, bookmarking, etc in this format. There is an expanded version, very new and only available for Kindle or Audible but I will not be referencing this version at this time. 

You might also need index cards, a composition book for additional notes, and highlighters.

外部リソース

使用する教材

Students are encouraged to research websites, publications, or other books that may be used to support their arguments in contradiction to the ideas expressed in the reading. Reliability of sources will be examined as part of the learning process.
