What general factors contribute to the process of global warming? In what way does this school community contribute to this process? As an agent of change, how can we influence this process on a different scale?
Guiding Questions
What chemical events take place when fuel is combusted in a vehicle and how do these events lead to increased global temperatures?
What is our current use of fuel presently (daily? weekly? monthly?)
How do we measure the "carbon footprint" of this activity on the part of our school?
What possibilities exist to reduce the impact of this footprint?
Guiding Activities
Interview with School representatives to determine current use and purposes
Research alternatives to a) reduce current use and b) offset current impact
