🌎🔬 Learning About Population & Resources in Ms. Fritchey’s Science Class! 🔬🌎
Ms. Fritchey’s 6th graders brought science to life with a hands-on activity exploring human population growth and resource consumption! Using beans and containers to model population changes over time, students were able to see how rapid growth impacts the use of Earth’s resources.
After building their models, students graphed their results and analyzed the data to better understand trends. They used their findings to explain cause and effect—connecting population growth to increased resource consumption and discussing what that means for our world today.
We love seeing our students think critically, work collaboratively, and apply real-world concepts to meaningful discussions about sustainability! 🌱📊👏
