About This Lesson

Description:

Solar panels, wind turbines, and other ‘green’ technologies are an important part of a low-carbon future. What are the environmental and human impacts of these technologies, and how can we reduce or eliminate them? Students investigate the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of supply chains.

SWBAT:

  • Name a few of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
  • Explain what a supply chain is
  • Understand why it is important to study supply chains

Skills:

  • Mind-mapping
  • Making connections
  • Map-reading

Standards

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity.
Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.
Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.
The role of radiation from the sun and its interactions with the atmosphere, ocean, and land are the foundation for the global climate system. Global climate models are used to predict future changes, including changes influenced by human behavior and natural factors.
Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits.
Sustainability of human societies and the biodiversity that supports them requires responsible management of natural resources, including the development of technologies.
Global climate models used to predict changes continue to be improved, although discoveries about the global climate system are ongoing and continually needed.
