Social Studies Standard for the week: SS7G2: Students will discuss environmental issues across the continent of Africa - water pollution & distribution, poor soil, deforestation & desertification.
Monday - We discussed population density in Africa - why people choose to live in certain places on the continent. Afterwards, we discussed environmental problems and health problems we face in the US to compare these to the problems faced by Africans. Students watched a video clip from SCIS on environmental & health problems facing Africa.
