 Activity/ action:
25 mins
- Students will work in groups of two
- They will collect and present data from the school in regards to what method is used to travel

Lesson conclusion/consolidation:
15 - Exchange results from data collected and how it may impact us and the world in connection
minutes to pollution
- Have students submit an exist ticket about their learning

ASSESSMENT (data collection) / EVALUATION (interpretation of data)

An exist ticket will be submitted:

What did you learn from the data collected? & what can you do now with that information to be good
stewards of the land?)
This exist ticket will be used as an evaluation for assessment for learning.

Accommodation/Modification

- Provide chrome books for students who require support for their writing
- Write step by step instructions on the board clearly
- Provide additional time for those who require it
