In this lesson, students consider the goods and services provided by green spaces. Students also learn about environmental justice as it relates to the prevalence of green spaces in different neighborhoods.
Inquire: Students brainstorm ideas on how green spaces provide goods and services.
Investigate: Students look at satellite images over time and of different neighborhoods to understand that green spaces are disappearing in general, and that the ones we have are not distributed equally in all communities.
Inspire: Students learn about how a young activist Jaysa Hunter-Mellers is advocating for environmental justice in her community, and add to the designs of their ideal green spaces.
