Girls for the planet
In this lesson, students will investigate the environmental benefits that arise from empowering women and girls.
Overview
In this lesson, students will investigate the environmental benefits that arise from empowering women and girls. They will access statistics about the education of women and represent this data using back-to-back stem and leaf plots and histograms. They will also undertake an action that will inform the school community about what they have learned or how they can support the empowerment and education of girls around the world.
