Section 1: Storyline Section 1 Driving Question: Why are the changing sand dunes a problem? Students investigate the problems caused by the changing Sleeping Bear dunes. They engage in hands-on investigations to explain what is causing the dunes to change, and gather information on how the changing dunes affects the surrounding areas. They use evidence to support their explanations, and to define the problem caused by the changing sand dunes. DCI: Earth Materials and Systems, The History of Planet Earth, Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems SEP: Asking Questions and Defining Problems, Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions CCC: Stability and Change !--- NOTE: This question is provided for you as a model driving question to organize the learning progression. You can use this question to guide your instruction, however, you are encouraged to adapt this question using the language you develop with your students. Students view photographs and maps of the Sleeping Bear Dunes. They read an article about how the dunes are getting smaller, and how this affects animals and people in the area. Throughout the unit, students will investigate the problem to gather information about how wind and water change the earth over time. They will use their learning to design solutions that protect the dunes from change. ---!{border-color:#008000;text-align:left;}
