The
Mystery of the Disappearing Christmas Trees |
| Description of Resource: |
This
Eco-Detective lesson on "The Mystery of the Disappearing Christmas
Tree" begins with background information for the teacher regarding
the environmental movement and it's emphasis on recycling to save
resources. The eco-mystery presented to the students is: How might
a new law requiring Americans to purchase artifical and reusable
Christmas trees result in fewer trees in our countryside? Using
eco-detection the students perform a series of group activities.
Included in the lesson are instructional objectives and materials
including visuals for transparencies and student handouts. In addition,
the lesson includes discussion questions and answers, and a closure
activity that reviews learning, provides a summary, or invites additional
applications. Finally, the lesson ends with an assessment section
including multiple-choice questions, essay questions, and suggestions
for journal writing. |
