For our first unit we are looking at humans and nature interact and how that impacts our environment.
We’ve been looking closely at Singapore, because we live here, and how the planning of the city has impacted nature, but also how nature has impacted where we choose to live, and how we choose to live.
So far it’s been really interesting, students have been using Google Earth to look at where cities are mostly located and why they may be located there, big surprise water is an important factor. Looking through field trips and museum walks we’ve started to think a little more like city planners.
Looking forward to the next couple weeks to really uncover what and how people interact with the environment.
