Service Learning Project
The service learning project for this unit involves research and advocacy components that involve the integration of both math and science practices that have been learned through the school year. Students will be collecting demographic information about the local population and their school. From this data, students will collaborate with a group to identify an under represented demographic group in need of a voice.
