Course Name: Environmental Science

Monday

Standard(s):    

SEV5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the effects of human population growth on global ecosystems.

  • a. Construct explanations about the relationship between the quality of life and human impact on the environment in terms of population growth, education, and gross national product.

  • b. Analyze and interpret data on global patterns of population growth (fertility and mortality rates) and demographic transitions in developing and developed countries.

  • c. Construct an argument from evidence regarding the ecological effects of human innovations (Agricultural, Industrial, Medical, and Technological Revolutions) on global ecosystems.

  • d. Design and defend a sustainability plan to reduce your individual contribution to environmental impacts, taking into account how market forces and societal demands (including political, legal, social, and economic) influence personal choices.


LT:  We are learning to analyze and interpret data to explain patterns and effects of population growth (SEV5 and SEV4c).

SC: 

  • I can explain the relationship between quality of life and population growth, Education, and gross national product. 

  • I can analyze data to identify patterns of population growth.

  • I can construct an argument to evaluate how human population growth affects food demand and food supply.


Lesson/Activity:

  1. Daily 10-Review Unit 5 Quiz and discuss retakes 

  2. Set up Unit 6 in Notebooks (Checklist & Vocab)
