Activities Development

Other Classroom Connections: I am teaching a new class this year, AP Environmental Science, and will incorporate an awareness of the poles as sensitive environmental areas. I will also incorporate the research that was done during my field experience.

I will also be modifying an assignment to address global warming that I got in an inquiry workshop at NSTA or using one from the TEA website if I can find one at the appropriate level. I will use this activity in Environmental Science and in Chemistry classes as well, since it involves making gas measurements.
