This document outlines a unit plan to teach students about how water, climate, and vegetation affect where people live on Earth. The unit will use hands-on activities, field trips, and virtual tours to teach students how to be responsible citizens and care for natural resources. Students will learn about water cycles, climate zones, and environmental issues. Assessments will evaluate students' understanding of these topics and their ability to present solutions to local environmental problems. The goal is for students to gain skills to responsibly manage their local environment.
