  1. Global Warming Mitigation Proposed Curriculum for New Mexico Middle Schools 6th through 8th Marcia Bardy – ST589 Climate Change and Carbon Sequestration

  2. NM State Standards hierarchy: • 3 Strands, 3 Standards, Multiple Benchmarks • Components to Mitigation: • All within the 6th – 8th Benchmarks • Social • Changing Energy Consumption • Alternative Energy Sources • CO2 Sequestration

  3. Ideas, like science, change over time • Technologies • Social values • Political considerations • 2011 Science textbook adoption year • NM HB 310 in 2013-2014 electronic • format begins mathematics • NM and English Language Learners • All content can be integrated within other • curricula

  4. Strand I: Scientific Thinking and Practice • Standard I: Understand scientific processes through • Inquiry • Observing • Experimenting • Predicting • Validating to think critically • National Science Education Standards: • … assessments need to probe for students' understanding, reasoning, and the utilization of knowledge …

  5. Strand II: Content of Science – Standard I: Physical Science • Gradeswith specific concentrations: • 6th – Geological • 7th – Biological • 8th – Chemistry – Main Concentration • Forms and properties of matter and interactions • CO2 Sequestration • Physical process of energy transfer, change and conservation of energy • Changing Energy Consumption • Alternative Energy Sources • Forces that produce motion in objects • CO2 Sequestration • Properties, Structure, and Changes of Matter • Chemistry of CO2 Sequestration
