Pyramid Diorama

Pyramid Diorama's

  

  I got this idea off of Pinterest. The pyramid was actually on the rock cycle, but I figured that this could be used for climate change.  The student's I teach are from a small town in Indiana.  It is important that they have a chance to explore different areas of the world in a classroom other then World History. I do this because I am passionate about my students becoming global citizens.  For this assignment I had them use this interactive map from National Geographic about scenarios that could happen around the world if the climate continues to change. They only had to pick ONE of the scenarios but another option would be having them do 4 different scenarios. Each student made their own, but to shorten the project, they could to it in groups of 2 or 3.  Here is the introduction page that I used to help guide my students on what to put on each triangle.  I also gave a little wiggle room as far as what was on each triangle.  For Example, you can see on the first picture that there is just a picture on the triangle.  I was fine with this as long as the information was put on another triangle. 

  The students have to plan and write everything out before they start gluing/ taping the triangles together.  I have them pre-write everything in their science journals before they transferred them to the triangle pieces.

  It was fun and an easy way to get my students to broaden their horizons about areas of the world and climate change.  I will definitely do this lesson again next year.
