This project will develop the geographic literacy and environmental literacy knowledge and skills of all Frederick County Public School 6th grade teachers and students through real-world investigations (classroom and outdoors) of the local environment using a human-environment systems approach.  We will share our problem-based learning module and project outcomes with other school divisions and the surrounding community. 

Students are asked an investigative question which required multidisciplinary research and analysis to explore. The concept map outlines components of the investigation.

We will update the links to the left as our three year project progresses.

This project is funded by a NOAA B-WET grant and is a partnership between UVA Blandy Experimental Farm & Frederick County Public Schools.
