Description

Get your middle school science class talking with this biology / environmental science discussion activity on eating meat, recommended for grade 5-7 students learning about ecology! Designed with MYP in mind but appropriate for any middle school, high school, international, or homeschool STEM curriculum.

Students take on one of 5 character roles to discuss whether a plant-based or meat-based diet is better for humans and the environment. In the process, they will explore ancestral diets, animal welfare, health claims, and more! Print and share or use the included slides for a paperless digital experience. Can be used as a formative assessment to check for understanding or as a summative assessment using the included MYP rubrics (criteria A and D).
