Products
Environmental Investigation Notebook
Students create a structured notebook showing their question, method, source notes or simple data table, graph, analysis, and personal conclusion. It proves each student's individual understanding of the investigation process and environmental content.
Eco-Fair Investigation Report and Presentation
Teams synthesize each member's evidence into a formal report and short presentation with a claim, visuals, and clear limitations. The final product must show how the group's findings connect to a specific human impact issue and a realistic solution.
