High School

Students in Mrs. Long's high school history class learned about different countries' life expectancy rates, citizens' access to doctors, stunting rates, and citizens' access to clean drinking water. Students randomly selected countries and were split into groups based on the four variables above. Manipulatives further demonstrated the divide. Students learned through this activity that many people around the world do not have access to essentials that we take for granted. This is a replication of an activity by Dr. Frederickson at Wilkes University.
