SubjectEnvironmental Design

This learning resource focuses on equipping students with the skills to propose evidence-based design solutions that address local environmental threats, enhance ecosystem services, and promote biodiversity. Through a structured approach, students will identify local environmental challenges, such as urban heat or habitat loss, and brainstorm potential interventions, including green infrastructure and policy changes. The resource encourages critical thinking and collaboration by utilizing the See-Think-Wonder routine to analyze urban green spaces and implementing a Decision Matrix to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed solutions. Students will formulate a final proposal using the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) framework and reflect on the limitations and potential adaptations of their designs in different geographical contexts, fostering a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem resilience.
