__**Goal/Rationale**__ As the future of our world, middle school students must understand the changing dynamics of our planet and how their actions can impact the world’s climate. This topic is best presented as an interdisciplinary unit because of the close interrelationships of the math and science of global climate change, the social implications of a changing ecosystem, and the art and literature of a society under stress. //**GR 6 Science**// - What role do humans actually play in environmental problems and solutions? How do living things interact both positively and negatively with the environment ? //**GR 6 ELA**// - How can you help the environment? //**GR 6 Social Studies -**// How has the earth's surface has changed due to environmental changes?
