This website features work from the completion of Phase 1 of the SCALES Project.

We are currently seeking partnerships for Phase 2.

Know Your Planet

Understand the physics, chemistry and/or biology of Earth, its climate and its ecosystems

Final Research Papers

Students completed four two-page reaction papers, one 25-page final research paper, and presented a summary of their final paper in class.

Responses Paper

A response paper communicates your intellectual reactions to an idea in the articles and papers we read for class. Much like a book review, the response paper usually provides your overall point of view regarding the material read.
