Description
This water pollution-themed science problem-based learning curriculum mini-bundle for high school students includes two problem-centered resources:
- A problem-based learning experience where students develop a hypothetical comprehensive plan to solve the problem of water pollution from fertilizers
- Community action project where students design and lead their own projects that require direct action to solve the problem in their community
Each student or small group of students will explore water pollution and how it impacts their community. They will deeply explore the problem and develop a theoretical comprehensive plan to reduce or eliminate the problem of water pollution altogether.
Students will then coordinate an action plan to help solve the problem and then take action. Each resource included in this bundle offers guiding templates to help save you time and streamline the process for your students.
This is a great activity to teach 21st-century skills such as problem-solving. The community service and leadership elements make this experience an awesome high school resume builder as well.
Both of the resources in this bundle include a printable and digital version (Google Apps). The resources are not editable at this time.
