Human Impact on the Environment Research
In class, we have been studying how humans have an effect on the environment around us. This week, we are going to be learning ways we can protect Earth's natural resources and it's environment. As you research this week, remember to fill in the PROS, CONS, and SOLUTIONS for each situation on your graphic organizer. Here is a link to the graphic organizer click here for graphic organizer . You may use the following sites below to research.
1. Deforestation of Forests
- Read information on deforestation
- 5 Ways to Stop Deforestation
- Deforestation for Kids: Information and Facts
- Watch Brainpop video on Air Pollution
- Read the "In Practice" link on the Brainpop - Air Pollution
- Read "Cool Facts about Air Pollution"
- Causes of Air Pollution
- Effects of Air Pollution
- Prevension/Solutions of Air Pollution
Alternative Energy Resources
solar- energy from the sun; Solar energy is a renewable energy source. This means that we cannot run out of solar energy, as opposed to non-renewable energy sources (e.g. fossil fuels, coal and nuclear).Solar Energy link
wind-Wind can be used to do work. The kinetic energy of the wind can be changed into other forms of energy, either mechanical energy or electrical energy.Wind energy link Wind Energy Youtube
biofuels- dead plants, trash, etc. that is burned for energy
geothermal- Geo= Earth and Thermal= heat
hydroelectric-
ENERGY WEBSITES

Distribution of Water Activity-
- You are going to make a "distribution of water" pie chart using your Chromebook. *(Refer to the "Distribution of Water" table- in your Science notebook- for the percentages you need to make your chart).
1. CLICK HERE and make a copy of the Google Sheet.
2. Enter the information (percentages from the "Distribution of Water") in the table.
3. Highlight the information in the chart and click on INSERT at the top. Then choose CHART. Choose the pie chart and click insert.
4. You may now change the colors to whatever you like.
5. Click the tab in the bottom left hand corner that says ALL OF EARTH'S WATER and repeat steps 2-4.
6. Last, don't forget to SHARE your chart with Mrs. Ponder (sponder@hoover.k12.al.us
7. Watch the Brainpop on Water Supply [Username: bgisbucs, Password: bgis]
- Take the CLASSIC QUIZ and e-mail your results to sponder@hoover.k12.al.us.
- You may re-take the quiz if you are not happy with your results (A=9-10, B= 8, C= 7, D= 6, F= 5/below)
- 8. Watch the Brainpop on the Water Cycle [Username: bgisbucs, Password: bgis]
- Take the CLASSIC QUIZ and e-mail your results to sponder@hoover.k12.al.us. You may re-take the quiz if you are not happy with your results. 9. What is your Water Footprint? Take the quiz!
Explore these Science Water Activities:
1. Play Tip Tank - a water conservation game
2. Watch Crash Course Kids- Weathering and Erosion
3. Go to this Use Water Wisely site and CLICK on WATER DETECTIVES ACTIVITY button on the right. See if you can find all 23 ways that water is being used!
4. You and a partner look through the websites below and decide on ONE way you can help conserve water and come get a large piece of paper from Mrs. Ponder and make a poster for the hallway!
5. When you are finished with everything above, you can:
Do something ACADEMIC on your Chromebook (not games) like watch BrainPop, create your own Google slideshow, you can Code or Scratch, or go on SumDog, Keyboard Mayhem
1st Nine Week's Earth Sphere Interactions Project
Goal: To create a model of an ecosystem with examples of how the four spheres interact in that ecosystem.
You should be able to explain to your class four spheres interact in that ecosystem.
Ways to create your model: (choose one) all supplies must be brought from home
- 3D diorama examples here
- poster - must be colored neatly
- Google drawing & presentation (no extra supplies needed-just Chromebook)
Ecosystems to choose from: (choose one)
- rainforest
- coral reef
- temperate forest
-
desert
- grassland/plains
How you will be graded:
- You must create a model that shows all four spheres (hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere).
- Neatness and effort count!
- You must correctly label each sphere.
- you must include a Google presentation of how each sphere interacts with all of the others
- hydrosphere to atmosphere
- hydrosphere to geosphere
- hydrosphere to biosphere
- atmosphere to geosphere
- atmosphere to biosphere
- geosphere to biosphere
- Resources- See the website below the grading rubric.
