Q3 Benchmark Reflection

Unit Essential Questions:

What value do we see in the biodiversity and natural resources of the Earth? Many species help their environment thrive through what they carry, reproduce or bring.

What human actions are associated with altering Earth’s natural systems? Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, transportation and farming livestock.

How can individuals, communities, and or nations live more sustainably? People can use reusable things more and focus on the quality rather than rushed, or incomplete processes/choices that only benefit a few rather than an entire unit.

Reflection Questions:

How did this project deepen your understanding of sustainability? I now understand how significant clothes can really be especially when made properly and the importance of their production speed rates.

What information surprised you most? Why? I was mostly surprised at what the clothing industry mostly uses to make clothes (animals and plants of the biosphere). I didn’t know this previously!

How did you contribute to your groups project? Provide specific examples. What were you proud of, in terms of your overall project?

Contributing to my groups project I helped design the blueprint of our physical model, and found sustainable practices for our business. In our physical model I came up with the idea for the flags and what could be seen outside the windows before walking in. I was mostly proud of my group’s effort and staying on task.
