As a team, we are
going to implement
an integrated unit
using Greece as our
theme. Our unit will
be adapted from the
Greeks: A simulation
of the History and
Culture of Ancient
Greece, (2007).*
From this unit,
students will
understand the
Greek historical
impact on science
and math (Keller)
and discovering the
Earth science with
rock formation, plant
life, ecosystems, and
good stewardship.
With math the
students will
understand that
ratios and
proportions can
solve-world
problems such as
Grecian populations,
building regulations,
etc (Keller)
