Synopsis: This unit helps students understand and master content knowledge regarding the Biosphere with special attention to human population, growth, food, and health. As students learn about the biosphere and human impact on Earth, they should be able to use the steps of the Scientific Method (observe, research, hypothesize, experiment, analyze data, and conclude) and critical thinking skills to solve 21st century problems. During each class, students will use the inquiry-based thinking graphic organizer I SEE, I THINK, I WONDER to analyze their community’s haves, needs, and wants in order to solve community issues such as food inequality and promote better emotional, mental, and physical health. When discussing food inequality, scholars study the availability of Food Stores and Food Service Places within their community answering the questions, “What do we feed a growing population, and Do they have access to food?” Other learning during this unit includes weekly global issues featuring CNN10 and the scholar’s ability to connect the four spheres and discuss how they interact with one another. At the end of class, students share reflections on their conclusions and solutions in the Discussion Board on Canvas and receive feedback from classmates.
