This 55-page comprehensive, interdisciplinary curriculum will allow you to turn your classroom into an environmental action lab focused on ocean plastic pollution. Designed to bridge cutting-edge marine science with civic advocacy, it provides students with opportunities to move beyond passive learning and into actual environmental action based on evidence. The curriculum consists of three phases that take students through a complete educational process. In Phase 1, Theoretical Framework gives students all of the background knowledge necessary for them as citizens to become advocates for change through evidence-based advocacy strategies (i.e., the Coriolis Effect; chemical properties of polymers; biodegradability; accumulation and magnification of toxins in food webs; marine ecosystems) designed using science and basic tenets of physics & chemistry that are used in designing marine policies. In Phase 2, Application Phase, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned through 10 worksheets that require analytical thinking skills (i.e., interpreting data sets; calculating numbers; ecological reasoning; evaluating corporations' environmental claims) in the creation of project proposals, respectively, regarding greenwashing, greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Phase 3, Instructional Materials, teacher support is provided (i.e., graphic organizers; rubric; answer keys with rational explanations; pacing guide; differentiation strategies, etc.) for successful implementation of the curriculum across disciplines. Students will have the opportunity to analyze real-world examples of ocean plastic pollution facts, including: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Henderson Island, Midway Atoll; develop a quantitative analysis of the rate of time it takes for PVC plastic to decompose; create maps showing the locations of the locations of plastic and non-plastic debris along ocean currents; analyze data related to the successful clean up of beaches and oceans and use such information in forming international legislation that seeks to eliminate as much plastic pollution as possible through public awareness campaigns such as "I Love My Ocean" public service announcements etc. Students compose policy memos formally addressed to elected representatives. The materials will help students build skills and competencies in the areas of data literacy, systems thinking, scientific writing, persuasive communication and authentic political agency through a pressing global issue — marine plastic pollution. Topics Covered: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Marine Biology, Chemistry (Polymer Science), Economics, Civics/Government, ELA (Persuasive Writing, Research), Mathematics (Data Analysis, Percent Calculations, Unit Conversions).

Are abstract financial literacy lessons that simply do not engage your students giving you frustration? This immersive Curriculum of Gamified Budgeting & Cost of Living PBL makes the theory from the textbook material tangible in the experience. This is not an ordinary worksheet, but an eye-opening multi-day undertaking aimed at making students realize the real cost of living independently. By choosing a job opportunity and working with real-time data from their area, students will create a clear monthly budget. They will face the financial reality of taxes, the difficulty of searching for a reasonably-priced apartment with the help of Zillow, the complexity of finding the grocery bills as well as utility costs, and the burden of debts. This comprehensive curriculum requires no preparation in advance and allows for having great “A-ha” moments as well as develops critical thinking, resilience, and got a deep understanding of money issues. What is Included In this 42 Pages All-in-One PDF: Part 1: A Comprehensive Theory Guide (9 Pages): An exhaustive orientation for the instructors about the learning process and methods that includes ideas such as Income Illusion, Housing Heavyweights, Convenience Tax and Subscription Creep in connection with the evidence. Part 2: The Student Assignment of 10 Worksheets (20 Pages): An assignment providing an intricate guide to students concerning the following: Worksheet 1: Choosing Careers, Gross and Net Income, and Taxes Worksheet 2: Reality of Housing Market (checking local rents) Worksheet 3: Utility Costs and Connectivity (actual costs of electricity, internet, etc.) Worksheet 4: Food Spending & Eating Out (actual supermarket prices) Worksheet 5: Historical Costs of Transport (auto-loan payments and public transport) Worksheet 6: Health and Emergency Expenses Worksheet 7: Lifestyle Audit (spending for pleasures) Worksheet 8: Debt and Obligations (credits) Worksheet 9: The Monthly Report (bringing everything together) Worksheet 10: The Pivot (experiencing a financial crisis like rent increase or car problems) Part 3: Elaboration on the Instructional Tools for Educators (13 Pages): Illustrative Visuals: The educational tool gives as many graphics to make complex ideas easier. Detailed Example Answer Key: Detailed examples that illustrate the whole project using a specific example (Dental Hygienist in Austin, Texas). Five Days Implementation Guide for Teachers: Teacher's handbook. Assessment and Grading Sheet: Grading rubric made easy and comprehensible. It is vital that the Manners Project gives students crucial financial survival skills they will need later in their lives. Why Parents/Schools Think It's a Wonderful Idea: Practical Applications: The curriculum is based on local and current real data (like Zillow) that is tapped to teach budgeting, causing students to learn it in a practical way that has great relevance to their own local community. Engaging & Game-based: The curriculum is very engaging as learning is approached in a project approach (it is gamified, as students are allowed to choose a profession and deal with financial surprises) that gets students interested and involved in the learning process. Builds Useful Skills: This curriculum allows students to work in tough situations when they have to make decisions about money. Target Audience Choice: Due to the complexity of its content, its emphasis on independent living and its application of mathematical concepts, we recommend: High school students (10th-12th grade): This is probably the best audience, especially for juniors and seniors who are studying economics, personal finance, life skills, or even in a general math course as an end project.

What Parents/Schools Appreciate Most About It: More Than Just Study Materials: This is not your standard guide of food pyramid style based information that provides answers to "why" food is important rather than just teaching them about "what" food is by incorporating real biochemically based research that gives students leadership skills through critical thinking about applying appropriate nutrients in their daily diets. No Need To Create New Lessons: It is a comprehensive, ready-to-teach resource that contains all the lessons needed for instructing students, including student learning materials (worksheets), student-directed interactive media, and an answer key for each lesson; which allows teachers to reduce their lesson planning and preparation time by several hours. Teaching Students Skills For Today And Tomorrow: Students will acquire real-world skills that they can apply throughout their lives, including, reading confusing food labels and budgeting for groceries, as well as creating meal plans based upon their own individual physical demands and/or mental needs (i.e., studying for exams, participating in sports). Based On Research And Up-to-date Information: The curriculum provides students with current scientifically valid information by disproving current myths and focusing on scientifically verified, up-to-date information (e.g., nutrient density, the body's hormonal response to food, and the importance of the body's microbiome). Audience For This Poster: From examining the content, language, and references in the text (i.e. two references to "grade 8 students," two references to "9th grade students," and teacher reference to "middle years (grades 7-9)"), I am using the following criteria to define my audience? Primary Target: Advanced Middle School Students (Grades 7-8) and regular High School Students (Grades 9-10) Justification: The vocabulary is appropriate for students of this age and demonstrates a high level of abstract thinking (i.e. biochemistry, paradigm shifts, phospholipid bilayers, anaphylaxis). This will serve as an excellent core unit for a Health or Biology class in high school or as a challenging, extensive science unit for an advanced middle school science class.

Attention, business educators! It is no surprise that business means people. Specifically, your customers. This lesson, "Customers and Competition", explores the centers of profit that a business has and how it can better cater to them. It also explores the competition that a company faces, and how customers go about their comparison shopping. This unit includes 5 main topics: Customer Segmentation and Targeting: Look at how your customer's segment into different groups, and how they can be targeted more effectively. A Company’s Ideal Customer: Who exactly is your company looking to attract? This question can and should dictate many of the decisions that your company makes. Competitive Analysis: As your students think about the alternatives to a business, how does a company stack up? How does Lyft compare to Uber? How is McDonald's truly different than Burger King? This chapter explores that competitive analysis. Customer Relationship Management (CRM): One of the more taxing but crucial aspects of business is managing your customer base. Look at some systems designed to do that. Building a Unique Value Proposition: What sets a company apart? That is the UVP. In this chapter students will explore what distinguishes a good UVP, and how to make one. This teaching package includes many great resources – from an engaging class slidedeck, to useful embedded videos, a corresponding video worksheet and answer key, and student-friendly follow-along notes.
