In the Footsteps of Dr. Livingstone
Correlation of the Sample Activity to Chicago Public School Outcomes
Biological and Physical Sciences
- analyze patterns of change in biological, physical, chemical, and geological
systems
- analyze the interdependence of earth systems (i.e., water cycle, carbon
cycle, nitrogen cycle, rock cycle) and organismsanalyze methods of environmental
conservation and their importance
- evaluate the implications of industrial technology and biotechnology
in a variety of environmental and human contexts
- formulate hypotheses, plan experiments, and present data in a variety
of formats, including graphing interpret results and recognize when they
are ambiguous
- use appropriate technology, such as computers, microscopes, calculators,
and models
- demonstrate and practice safe laboratory techniques
Fine Arts
- demonstrate aesthetic valuing in dance through critical analysis of
technical skill, choreographic tools, movement styles, the intent of the
choreographer, and the expectations of the viewer
Language Arts
- analyze and evaluate the communication of others, using a range of strategies
- write effectively in different modes: personal experience narrative,
summary, story, sketch, poetry, dialogue, essay, and report
- give oral presentations, including extemporaneous and formal speeches,
in a clear and concise manner, using appropriate techniques
- use listening and reading strategies appropriate to purpose and textual
- read and write independently for personal and academic purposes
Mathematics
- derive problem solving strategies to recognize, represent, generalize,
describe, and predict solutions to problems
Social Sciences
- recognize how the allocation of resources affects the attitudes and
behavior of people at the national and international levels
- recognize the various factors that influence human development and behavior
- use charts, maps, and other geographical tools to create, compare, contrast
geographical regions
- demonstrate an understanding of how climate and topography affect the
