This spring we will be focusing on the human impact on ecosystems and attempting to answer questions such as:
¨ As the global population increases and competition for natural resources becomes increasingly fierce, how will our environment change?
¨ What is the impact that an individual has on his or her environment?
¨ What is sustainable development and how will it shape the future?
¨ Climate change is more than rising temperatures. What will happen to ecosystems and the spread of disease as the Earth’s temperature rises?
Today in class students created brainstorm posters on what comes to mind when they hear the words "ecology," "sustainability" and "human impact." They then shared their ideas with the class.Homework: Read pages 742-748 and complete the following:
1. What is the title of section 34.1?
2. Make flashcards for the key terms on page 744.
3. Complete concept check questions 1-5 in the concept check on page 748.
