LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
10min Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Quiz
5min Teacher explains assignments.
20-25min ReUse Project Presentation Slideshow. Students use resources to address questions following the simplified quick presentation slide style (Bad Example, Good Example 1, & Good Example 2). Teacher checks slides and offers suggestions.
The following questions need to be answered in your presentation/slideshow. Make sure to follow the rules for a presentation.
Environmental Impact of Plastic, Cardboard, Fabrics, and Rubber
1. Title slide (brand name of your product).
2. How much plastic/cardboard/fabric is made/used/thrown away every year?*
3. What is the natural resource used to make plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber?
(Example: Glass is made from sand. Sand is the resource.)
4. Is the natural resource renewable or nonrenewable?
5. How much of that natural resource is used a year?*
6. How much water is used to make plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber?*
7. How does getting/using/making/disposing of plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber directly or indirectly contribute to the death/illness of living organisms)?*
* Requires numbers and a link to your resource.
8. “What's the solution?” (This is just a set up for your product.)
9. Product (Include picture of your project item.)
10. Cost & Selling Price
11. Final Message
Rules for Slides
- BIG Sans Serif Fonts (30+)
- NO Sentences, NO Paragraphs, NO Bullet Points
- ONE FACT + ONE PIC per slide. (If the picture is that important, it should have its own slide.)
- URL should be tiny at the bottom
- NO crazy colors. NO animations.
Notes
[1] Styrofoam is a type of plastic. [2] Cardboard is a type of paper. [3] There are two types of fabrics, natural and synthetic. Synthetic fabrics like polyester are made from plastic. [4] The term “effluent” means liquid waste/wastewater [5] One cubic meter of liquid (1 m³ or 1 m^3) is 1000L or 264 gallons. [6] Natural Rubber Latex, NRL, and Latex are the same thing, which are different from Natural Rubber. [7] Many things that are ‘rubber’ or ‘Natural Rubber’ are vulcanized (heat + sulfur) to become stronger and more durable (such as rubber bouncy balls, rubber mats, or rubber tires).
