Global Impact of Climate Change
Climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth’s temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions.1 Burning fossil fuels and deforestation have contributed to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global warming temperatures. The climate crisis is a real threat that is creating challenges all around the world. This unit will focus on teaching students about climate change and exploring its impact on a global scale. The essential question for students is……Continue Reading Global Impact of Climate Change
The Mathematics of Migration: Predicting Flows and Forecasting the Future
The United States and broader world are changing significantly. One of the most important ways in which it is changing is migration. Understanding migration, changes, and how population works will give students tools to position themselves positively in the workplace in the coming years. However, for them to understand fully migration and population change, there are some prerequisites……Continue Reading The Mathematics of Migration: Predicting Flows and Forecasting the Future
Impact of Horses on the Plains Native Americans
This unitwill explain how horses entered the Plains Native American culture many years ago. Native peoples traditionally regarded animals in their lives as fellow creatures with which they shared a common destiny. Horses and the Native Americans together played a significant part in American history. For many Plains groups, horses changed nearly every aspect of their life. Specifically, this unit will focus on the impact horses had on the Plains Native American power, warfare, bison hunting and their involvement in Westward Expansion. An extension activity in the curricular area of science will be incorporated……Continue Reading Impact of Horses on the Plains Native Americans
