This NGSS-aligned word sort activity, designed for kindergarten, explores ways humans change the environment to meet their needs. In 'How Humans Modify Their Environment,' students categorize human activities, like 'Meeting Water Needs' and 'Creating Shelter or Food Sources.' Using examples such as building roads, digging wells, and farming, this activity encourages students to think critically about human impact on nature. Engaging and informative, this activity introduces students to environmental science concepts, fostering awareness of human-environment interactions through observation and categorization.
