[SOLVED] Conservation Lab

Conservation Lab
Part 1: Go to carbon footprint calculator to find out how much carbon you use and how you could reduce your carbon footprint.
Describe three ways you have caused carbon dioxide emissions in the last week. How much emissions did these activities cause?

Pick one of the activities that caused carbon dioxide emissions. Describe how they cause emissions.

Describe three ways you found to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions. Why would each reduce emssions? By how much could you reduce your emissions?

Why would you want to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions (this about pollution/climate change)?
Part 2: Find a Citizen Science Project related to our conservation module (think animals, weather, climate, etc). Go to: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects?discipline=climate&page=1&status=live
Try out engaging in helping the scientists. Then, answer these questions:
Which project did you choose?

What is the scientists’ purpose for this project? What is the question they are trying to answer?

How are the scientists collecting data to answer their question?

How do the Citizen Scientists help the scientists?

How could this project be related to thinking about conservation and sustainability?

How might you be able to have elementary children engage in helping with the activity?

Part 3: Identify a Georgia Standard of Excellence related to the investigation: link to Georgia Standards of Excellence.
What standard did you find?

Part 4: Identify 3 resources that a teacher could use to help students in teaching this standard. For each resource, complete the table below. Then, include a brief description of each resource and how you would use the resource in teaching. Give one strength and one challenge of this resource by completing the chart on the next page. Potential resource locations: https://ngss.nsta.org/Classroom-Resources.aspx (you can access the articles from this website via Kennesaw’s library) https://gpb.pbslearningmedia.org/, https://nsdl.oercommons.org/, https://www.nasa.gov/kidsclub/index.html, https://www.noaa.gov/, https://www.usgs.gov/
