Essential Question:

"How do Earth's systems (geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) interact, and why is understanding these interactions crucial for addressing environmental challenges?"

Portrait of a Graduate:

Students will apply critical thinking to understand the complex interactions between Earth's systems and evaluate human impacts. They will pursue additional information to refine their understanding and solutions.

Inquiry Question:

What is an example of how the geosphere and biosphere depend on each other?

2. Inquiry Question:

How does a change in the hydrosphere affect the atmosphere?

3. Inquiry Question:

What role do humans play in the interaction of these systems?

Student Outcomes:

Students will be able to explain how Earth's systems interact with each other.

2. Student Outcomes:

Students will develop a model representing the interaction between at least two of Earth's systems.

3. Student Outcomes:

Students will propose solutions to reduce negative human impact on Earth's systems.
