  1. Happy Monday!!!  • Pick up your card from the front table...you have ten minutes to complete and turn back into the box. • Get out the rest of your supplies…binder, comp ntbk, etc. • If today is your first day in this classroom, please see me so I can get you caught up and tell you where you should be sitting.

  2. Binder… • First 3 pages: • Myers-Briggs Personality Test • Learning Styles • Multiple Intelligences • Syllabus • Get parent signature page completed/signed for homework. Due Wednesday.

  3. Composition Notebook • Page 1 • Notebook Title Page • Environmental Science • Your name • Class period • The rest is up to you- pictures, color, etc

  4. Composition notebook • Page 2 • Title: Environmental Science Units • Unit 1- Introduction to Environmental Science • Unit 2- Ecology & Biomes • Unit 3- Populations & Biodiversity • Unit 4- Energy • Unit 5- Air & the Atmosphere • Unit 6- Land & Agriculture • Unit 7- Water • In addition to the list above, you may add any design, drawing, color here that you like.

  5. Composition book • Page 3 • Unit Title Page & Title of Contents: • Title: Introduction to Environmental Science • This is also where you will list all assignments/tasks from this unit with their page numbers.

  6. Composition notebook • Page 4 • Unit Standards • Highlight in two different colors • Power Words • Science Words • Page 5 • List the words that you highlighted in the standards AND define…in class if time, if not, then define for homework.

  7. Composition notebook • Pages 6 & 7 • Glue in the two note sheets for Chapter 1, Section 1

  8. Science & the Environment Section 1: Understanding our Environment Standards: SEV4a, SEV5d, SEV5e

  9. What is Environmental Science? • The study of the impact of humans on the environment.

  10. What are the goals of environmental science? • To understand and solve environmental problems. • 2 Main Types of Interactions btwn Humans & Env. • How we use natural resources • How our actions alter the environment

  11. How is Env. Science different from Ecology? • Ecology- study of interactions of living things with each other & their non-living environment • Env. Science- includes how HUMANS impact living & non-living things.

  12. Why is Env. Sci. called an Integrated Science? • Many fields of study:

  13. Why is env. Science often called a “Citizen science”? • Most environmental problems are first discovered & studied by citizens in a community. • Citizens then alert scientists to a problem that needs to be studied.

  14. History of environmental science • Hunters-gatherers • Nomadic- small, migrating group • Collect plants, hunt animals, scavengers • Still around in remote regions of the world • Major env. Impact- overhunting of large mammals

  15. History of environmental science • Agricultural Revolution • Began over 10,000 years ago • Began domesticating animals & saving, planting seeds • Animals plowed field • Population grew • need help on farms • consistent food source to support more people • Habitats destroyed to make way for farm land • Poor farming techniques destroyed land

  16. History of environmental science • Industrial Revolution • Mid-1700’s • Introduction of fossil fuels & machinery • Reduced need for large families b/c machines did all work • People began migrating to cities for factory work. • Improved technology= new medicine, sanitation, nutrition • Most environmental problems started during this time.

  17. History of environmental science • Overpopulation • Caused by agricultural & industrial revolution • Puts large strain on • Natural resources • Biodiversity

  18. What are our three main environmental problems? • Resource depletion • Natural resources are either… • Renewable- can be replaced quickly by natural processes • Ex: air, trees, crops • Non-renewable- cannot be replaced quickly • Ex: minerals & fossil fuels • Both can become depleted if harvested faster than can be replaced.

  19. What are our three main environmental problems? • Pollution • Negative change in air, water, or soil that affects health or survival of living things • Two types: • Biodegradable- can be broken down • Ex: sewage, food • Non-biodegradable- cannot be broken down by natural processes • Ex: lead, mercury, plastic

  20. What are three main environmental problems? • Loss of Biodiversity • Biodiversity- number & variety of species that live in an area. • Most current extinctions are due to HIPPO • Habitat loss • Introduced species • Pollution • Population growth (humans) • Overharvesting
