Synopsis

  • This two-part unit plan by Nature Lab uses the 5-E model to teach students about the carbon cycle, climate change, and sourcing food locally. 
  • Students will evaluate how locally grown food may have a smaller carbon footprint than grocery store food, grow food to measure their own garden's CO2 offset, and measure the amount of food grown to evaluate the effectiveness of their local garden.
