AP Environmental Science-Food Fight

The content in this lesson is of a controversial nature. Please review to make sure it is suitable for your class. A video, The Meatrix is shown to the class, and then they discuss the emotionally-charged language that it uses. They are then divided into groups to research feedlots, GMOs, aquaculture, pesticides, and monoculture. Notes that each group produces will be shared with the other groups. The hope is that participants become critical media consumers and informed citizens.
