Save an Endangered Species from Climate Change Project - NGSS - Google Doc
- Google Docs™
What educators are saying
Description
This is the Google Doc version! I have specifically re-worked it for distance learning, but it can easily be used in person, too! A PDF version of the original (very similar) is also available in my store.
Designed to support NGSS HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
This fun research project includes the following in five pages:
-Student instruction sheet
-Teacher scoring guide
-Virtual Gallery Walk audience note sheets
-CER template for assessment
-Voting ballot (optional - usually used with in class assignment. Maybe you could set it up as a Google Form for virtual students to vote?)
Students will research a species, design a plan, and submit their presentation to the teacher. If able, you can post their presentations to Google Classroom or Canvas, etc. to allow for a virtual gallery walk. Each student will also be asked to write a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER), based on the presentations they review, to decide which species it is most important to save.
My students love this activity and I am impressed with the quality of work they create for this assignment!
Time required: I typically provide 2 weeks for this activity.
