Teacher Notes

Choose a Cause (40 minutes) > Print/View All Notes

In this activity, students will work in groups to choose a cause to promote with their T-shirt (water pollution, air pollution, landfill contamination, global climate change). Before the activity begins, organize your class into STEM teams of 3-4 students each. (See Appendix C for more information on forming STEM teams.) Consider dividing into separate groups the students who share similar feelings on a particular issue.

Have students turn to page 5 of their Engineering Portfolios and be available to answer questions as students work in their teams.
