My Students

Does it seem like whenever you turn on the news, you hear something that's bad for the environment? Does the information seem to conflict with what you've heard before? Of all the science classes students take, Environmental Science needs more "hands on" experience so students can sort it all out

My students are urban high risk students who have had limited exposure to nature prior to coming into my class.

Most of it is second hand from less scientific resources. It's no wonder they make bad decisions about the environment; they have no experience to sort out the good information with the bad. Many high risk students question the need to learn science when they reach the high school level. They see protecting the environment as "someone else's job." I believe that by giving them a personal relationship with nature, they can see that we are all stewards of the planet and that every little bit DOES help.

My Project

One of the biggest challenges that urban students face is seeing how their lives relate to the environment. One of the labs that I've requested ties into the issue of population growth. This lab ties into a lesson demonstrating our limited resources and how increasing human population can jeopardize our planet. The second lab talks about biofuels and alternate energy. By educating students on ways to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint, they can help the environment and in many cases also save money.

Many of my students come into this class convinced that the problems with the environment are caused by others and that they can't do anything.

Changing this mindset creates better citizens. Many environmentally friendly products are more expensive because no one buys them. There's a poster that talks about Snowflakes in an Avalanche and how no snowflake realizes that its part of an avalanche. My students are my snowflakes.
