~Project Revive~ Unit 3

Real-world problems have both historically and currently been addressed through careful problem solving and engineering design technology from solutions generated from a

problem solving process. However, more creative design solutions are often necessary for community based problems that impact enormous amount of users and in some instances

nations or even the world. Often using reversed engineering principles help innovators from repeating design solutions that ultimately overtime have not been effective. By examining existing exemplars, students will design products to generate solutions to both nature made

and human-made disasters that impact societies over several months and years.

DRAW a footprint as large as the page

Make sure your footprint has five toes!

BIG FOOT - The ImpactsBIG FOOT - The Impacts Each of us has a carbon footprint that is as unique as we are.


What is a carbon footprint?

Why should we offset a carbon

footprint? On each toe, state facts about carbon footprints or state what we can do to

reduce their impact on the earth.

Search “carbon footprint” and fill in your footprint.

Words You Need to KnowWords You Need to Know

Carbon Dioxide A chemical compound composed of one

carbon and two oxygen atoms. It is often referred to by its formula CO2. It is present in the Earth's atmosphere at a low concentration and acts as a greenhouse gas.

Carbon Footprinta measure of the impact on the environment in terms

of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
