Challenge 20/20

I think the two challenges that apply best to my grade level would be deforestation and water pollution. Our last PYP unit of the year is called "Waste Not, Want Not" and in this unit we discuss different resources and the different problems those resources face.  This year we had the students research the different resources and they are becoming "experts" in the topic, and are trying to come up with some "action" that relates to saving that resource.  The 4 topics we are studying are deforestation, water pollution, oil spills, and food scarcity.
I think that integrating these projects into this last unit would be great.  Since there are so many 4th grade teachers in the class we can collaborate together as well as with other schools.  We will discuss this in one of our grade level meetings and make a decision together.
