Earth Systems in a Bottle: Building Earth systems teaches students an integrated environmental lesson

The Science Teacher – September 2000

Earth and its systems, a natural integrated unit, incorporate an understanding of biology, physics, chemistry, and geology. The various systems on Earth are interrelated—changes in one system control or regulate changes in another. In these activities, students develop creative systems to incorporate all the required elements. Not all models that students built were successful, but students were able to see how failure or success in one system affected what happened in other sections.
