Description
Inquiry Overview:
In this lesson, students will compare the sustainability plan of the German city of Karlsruhe to the sustainability plan of their own city. (Alternatively, if data are not available for their own city, students could compare the data to that of a US city of similar population, such as Cincinnati, Ohio.) Students will look for similarities and differences in the plans and choose one thing that Karlsruhe is doing that they could propose for their own city.Working in groups, students will prepare a proposal to share with a member of their own city sustainability council.
