Essential Question
How can the actions of students around the world have a positive impact on the planet? Part 1: Introduction Students learn how the environment is always changing, both naturally and because of human activity. Students will study different types of pollution, Earth’s freshwater supply, the destruction of animal habitats, and climate change. Students will then identify an environmental issue affecting their own communities and become an expert on that issue. Part 2: Project Students will design and complete a project designed to make a positive impact on the environment in their own communities. Students will work with their PenPals to brainstorm, plan, and complete their projects. Join at: www.penpalschools.com using the code provided by your teacher. We connected with students from:

I like this because you can learn about people from different countries. You can also learn about their environment. It could be similar or really different.

I think that PenPal's are great because you get to learn about different cultures and languages. This is great because are knowledge of the world expand this way. It's a great way to learn. I learned that factories are releasing CO2 into the air. This is called pollution. Pollution is destroying the ozone layer causing the world to get hotter every year.

I think we need to save the environment because it can help us live longer and help animals have a better life.

Students and everyone can and should help the environment even by doing little things like recycling or picking up some trash, because remember a lot of small things can lead up to one big great thing.

I like pen pals because you can learn about their culture, traditions, and many other things. Plus you get to chat and get to know other people.

The environment is fragile and must be saved. I had a good time with my penpals, and... stuff. the environment is being destroyed by human civilization, and WE MUST STOP HUMANS FROM DESTROYING IT.

While we were doing this project, we thought up ideas about how to save the pollinators, We actually tried some of the ideas and we hpoed that they helped a little.

Student will learn the impacts of pollution in their natural environment. They will learn what they could do about it and then to finish it off they will work together to brain storm ideas about what they can do about it.

When I first started this I already knew that many people where trying to protect the environment but, I did not know all the ways they did it. I learned that when people make new house they just don´t decided to build in a open area they decide to cut down millions of trees, take up grass, and kill the wildlife around there just to build one house! My penpals are really fun there names are Ella (Batty) J. from US, Lilly W. from US, and Olivia R. from US.

Before I watched the video about global warming I knew that it was affecting many habitats and animals. It is poisoning foods and it is melting ice, increasing the temperature which can be bad for animals and could kill. Most cars create global warming. I learned mostly that the actual reason cars create global warming and other things too is because things like gasoline create C02 which is why the planet is changing. Fatorys and many things in houses cause C02. I cannot share anything about my penpals cause I do not have any.

Me gusta esto porque puedes aprender sobre personas de diferentes países. También puedes aprender sobre su entorno. Podría ser similar o realmente diferente.

I knew that the enviroment was in danger before doing this project but it was rather revealing to see all these pictures such as the one of Bejing China. All my penpals were from the United States one of them wanted to play in the NBA and they all seemed keen on protecting the planet.
