Sustainable cities and communities

Collect and organize scientific ideas that individuals and communities can use to protect Earth’s natural resources and its environment (e.g., terracing land to prevent soil erosion, utilizing no-till farming to improve soil fertility, regulating emissions from factories and automobiles to reduce air pollution, recycling to reduce overuse of landfill areas).

SCI.5.16

Identify ways (e.g., farming, building structures and dams, creating transportation routes, overgrazing, mining, logging) in which humans depend upon, adapt to, and impact the earth.

SOC.3.4.5.PO 1

Describe how farming methods and domestication of animals led to the development of cultures and civilizations from hunting and gathering societies.

SOC.6.1.2.PO 2

Describe how people affect and alter their environment (e.g., farming, building dams, environmental lighting, irrigation, pit mining)

SOC.3.G.3.3.3

Distinguish between animals that are born alive (e.g., humans, dogs, cows) and those that hatch from eggs (e.g., chickens, sea turtles, crocodiles).

SCI.1.3.2

Animals are either born alive (for example, humans, dogs and cows) or hatched from eggs (for example, chickens, sea turtles or crocodiles).

SCI.1.3.a.3

Compare how various factors, including gender, affect access to education in Kenya and Sudan.

A.SS7CG3.a

Begin to develop an awareness of ways people depend on and interact with the environment (e.g., fishing, farming, and industry).

SOC.K.17.C.K

Identify ways people depend on and interact with the physical environment (e.g., farming, fishing, hydroelectric power).

SOC.K-3.17.C.1a

investigate how humans modify the physical environment: explain how different perspectives of individuals and groups impact decisions about the use of land (e.g., farming, industrial, residential, recreational) in the United States

SOC.5.SS-5-G-S-3.c

Students will explore at least two of these three African independence movements: Ghana, Algeria, Kenya.

SOC.10.7b.1

Students will investigate the extent to which urbanization and industrialization have modified the roles of social institutions such as family, religion, education, and government by examining one case study in each of these regions: Africa (e.g., Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone), Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico), and Asia (e.g., China, India, Indonesia, South Korea).

SOC.10.8a.1

summarize the impact of the development of farming (Neolithic Revolution) on the creation of river valley civilizations;

SOC.9-12.WH.2.A

explain how changes in societies such as population shifts, technological advancements, and environmental policies have led to diverse uses of physical features over time such as terrace farming, dams, and polders.
