• Three Project Based Learning Resources: Free Online Resources for Student Collaboration and Problem Solving
  Project based learning using all or any of the three online resources offers a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges. Project Based Learning (PBL) provides opportunities for students to collaborate as they solve challenging problems. This problem solving strategy is guided by open-ended questions which drive student lead investigative processes. Student groups research the problem, collect data, and draw conclusions based on their findings. An example of a complicated PBL is assigning student groups to visit ten stations around the classroom. At each station there are different items. The challenge is to determine the socio-economical forces that drove those products into being made. Additional PBL learnin

• Bottled Water Versus the Environment Case Study: Questions and Concerns of Pure Water or Pure Hype in a Bottle
  Students use problem-based learning strategies and techniques to develop findings and make recommendations, along with preparing a press release in this case study. This case study explores the environmental effects associated with the production, consumption, and recycling related to bottled water. Students learn about state and federal regulations associated with the extraction of ground water and its potential impact on the environment, identify potential safety hazards with drinking water, and become aware of the economic and ecological costs of drinking water that has been bottled.
