Ecology: High School Science
This science unit helps students understand how human activity impacts ecosystems and explore evidence-based solutions geared toward lessening this impact. Students will conduct a lab simulation, complete a Literary Design Collaborative research paper in the form of a National Geographic article, and deliver an oral presentation to share findings using visual aids. For easy use and customization, files are available in PDF and Word. The unit can also be downloaded in pieces or in full.
