Students will investigate the Dakota Access Pipeline and the timeline of events surrounding it. They will collaborate to research the impact this new technology has had, and continues to have, on Native People in that area, as well as create a decision making model to compare and contrast the supporting and opposing perspectives.

 This lesson will allow students to analyze the physical and ecological processes which shape the Earth’s surface including the nature and location of weather phenomena and what causes the seasons and climate.  Students will also use a decision-making model.  Teachers will need to make copies of all the Google forms and documents.
