Description
Practice modeling multistep linear inequalities in this 21st Century Math Project which asks students to compute and consider ramifications of carbon emissions. Students will use real world emissions data from transportation and food creation. The unit will tie together in an epic Amazing Race style showdown to see who can make it across the country with the lowest footprint. Students will look at transportation and food in a new way as they help characters make choices about their lifestyle.
Although students will learn elements of carbon emissions, the lessons focus on creating and using multi-step inequalities to model situations and make decisions. With an increasing focus on environmental issues this explores a view on a science topic that students may never have been exposed to before.
Bring environmental science into a math classroom!
In this 27 page PDF you will receive a mapping to the Content Standards, an outline for how to implement the project, handout resources for students to use, and an answer key. ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***
In all it is three different assignments --
-- Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Students will write multistep inequalities to determine if individual’s daily transportation "needs" exceeds the CO2 emissions totals described in the Kyoto Protocol.
-- Well-Traveled Food. Students will use the Food Footprint Chart to complete this assignment which provides a look at food production and transportation emissions and the difference between local and traditional food sources.
-- the Amazing [more environmentally conscious] Race. Using a CO2 Emissions Per Activity chart, student will make travel and food choices on a cross country trip.
