Internal Assessment Week - 2 or 3 lessons to get students started off better - Day 1 explore ideas - Where could we "collect" data and how could we process it? Must link environment to society. - Day 2 Topic selection and research and planning? Rough draft by Dec ___ or call parents.

Lesson 1 - IA Equipment Overview

Sort equipment with topics for a brief data collection day. Like some mini kit for different data collection ideas.

1- google earth and GIS information

2 - water quality testing - the conductivity mini experiment.

3 - Air quality and PM probe

4 - secondary database sorting

5 - belt transect - like on land or in a river - we will do one next week

Lesson 2 - Make this topic research day - Internal Assessment Overview (2.5) Sept 4, 5 - Put out potential equipment in the room (probes, transect PVC, etc.)

Lesson 3 - Make this - context and planning day IA Topic Research - Sept 20 (sub lesson if needed), 24 - IA topic research day. - be sure to leave out some probes for this day so students know what is available (but not to take) - including air quality. See Lesson 7a documents. Complete the research and start a general plan for data collection.
