How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
The lesson connects to the Environmental Science unit that helps students to learn how World Environment Day was created to protect the environment and
understand how far we have come to recreating what was lost.
Common Core standards (or GLCEs if not available in Common Core) addressed:
Integrate visual information (e.g. in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts.
Explain that the physical environment is modified by human activities, which are influenced by the ways in which human societies value and use Earths natural
resources.
Explain how human action modifies the physical environment and how physical systems affect human systems.

I was not able to teach this lesson. I used the ten global problems relating to human/environment interaction. The curriculum gave
themes of each World Environmental Day and a little paragraph explaining the problem and the reason for being a global problem. I
used this handout because it gave a clear grasp of global issue that is being discussed among leaders and politicians from all over the
world. Then I looked for YouTube videos on World Environment Day and Earth Day to show to the class before the activity.
