This multi-lesson resource set for high school is focused on environmental justice and social science. It asks students to consider inequality and justice in the context of their own lives and the environment through a series of both hands-on and research-focused activities. This unit supports student understanding of the multiple, complex issues and perspectives of environmental justice in the United States. In part one, students complete a group activity under the pressures of environmental discrimination and then evaluate their success. The second and third part uses short videos to explain a real life example of overcoming environmental discrimination to encourage students to reflect on the complexity of these issues. In the final part, students debate a solution to an issue using assigned roles in a town hall platform.
