    • I would integrate this into the core topic science. I would do this by discussing environmental health in general and the scientific evidence behind it, then I would have them further explore the app for specific parts of environmental health for their project.
    • Specific standards for science
      • A: Natural Resources-
        Humans depend on Earth’s land, ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere for many different resources. Minerals, fresh water, and biosphere resources are limited, and many are not renewable or replaceable over human lifetimes. These resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes.
      • Cause and Effect-
        Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
