SEPUP™ Earth's Resources

How is a growing human population affecting the availability of natural resources? Investigative phenomena within the lessons connect back to the issue and storyline.

Anchoring phenomenon: Humans affect the availability of natural resources. Examples explored include human use of oil, gas, mineral, and fresh water resources to meet human needs.

Students generate and answer questions such as: How are natural resources formed and used? Why do some places have more of certain natural resources than others? How important are natural resources to people?

Literacy

Embedded strategies help teachers explore students' thinking and give students multiple opportunities to confront their preconceptions.

The best part of Issues and Science for my students is that it is connected to real-life issues that are relevant to their lives. It includes strategies and tools for me to reach ALL my kids, includes step-by-step instructions, and it is FUN! I fell in love with teaching science because of the Lab-Aids curriculum.
