The document discusses a curriculum focused on studying how climate change impacts polar bear habitats. It involves two challenges - raising awareness about the effects of climate change on polar bears, and reducing personal carbon footprints. Students would research questions, potential solutions, and present their findings. They could take local or global actions and publish their work using technology to share it with a global audience. The curriculum aims to teach critical thinking and problem solving around an authentic real-world issue through collaboration and use of online resources.

This document outlines a lesson plan for students in upper elementary grades to research the 13 original colonies. It involves having students:
1) Draw a colony randomly to research and map what they need to know.
2) Collect and organize information from various sources into a Google Doc.
3) Create a multimedia project presenting what they learned about their colony and cite their sources.
The goal is for students to learn both how to conduct research and also learn factual information about each colony.
