Answer these questions in your notes while the video is playing. • How have we as humans contributed to the warming of the earth? • What innovations or technology have we come up with to try and reduce the effects of pollution added to the atmosphere? • Do you think Charlotte has the same pollution problems as other large cities?

2. Pull out your phones!!! • Go to this link and give your answer to the first do now question http://todaysmeet.com/mrmillersscience • If you do not have an internet enabled device, ask to borrow someone else’s when they are done giving their answers.

3. How Human Activities affect the Environment

4. We live in a bubble • The earth is a single self contained environment that we have a responsibility to keep clean. • This means we need to slow down our use of natural resources and keep our renewable resources clean and reusable. • Wait, what are resources?

5. Natural Resources • Materials or substances such as minerals, forests, water, and fertile land that occur in nature and can be used for economic gain. • Basically, anything found in the Earth that we use in products or use to make products or to produce energy.

6. Renewable resources • Those resources that can be used over and over again because they are cleaned and recycled naturally • Water • Sunlight • Wind • The air we breathe

7. Nonrenewable resources • Those resources that are used at a far greater speed than they are produced • Fossil fuels • Products made from fossil fuels • Nuclear Energy • Some renewable resources can become nonrenewable

8. What are fossil fuels? • Oil, gas, and coal • Easy to use and contain a lot of energy • They can affect the environment in many ways

9. Pollution Definitionadding harmful substances or products into the environment The use of FOSSIL FUELS are the biggest cause of pollution There are multiple types of pollution.

10. Make a graphic organizer • On a blank sheet of paper, draw a “t” dividing the paper into 4 sections • At the top of each section, put one of the following groups • Water, Pollution, and Waste • Water pollution • Air Pollution • Reduce, reuse, and recycle • Take notes under each section for each video segment • Devote each square on the graphic organizer to two • Problems • Solutions

11. Air Pollution • http://app.discoveryeducation.com/techbook2:concept/view/guidConceptId/f333f3d3-b871-4bb2-87b2-a3e65892cf09/guidUnitId/3996f088-4377-4d4d-bed5-bab0f56bb340#/tab=model-lesson-tab&page=1&subTab=session1 • We will start with air pollution.

12. Air Pollution • Pollutants (such as burning fossil fuels) released into the atmosphere can have harmful effects. • Smog • Depletion of the ozone layer • Creation of acid rain • Some causes of air pollution- • Car emissions • factories

13. Air Pollution • Effects on the environment can include • Health risks to living organisms • All air pollutants return to the ground in some form which effects the surrounding landscape

14. Air Pollution - Example

15. Air Pollution - Example

16. Air Pollution- Effects of acid rain

17. Air Pollution-Ozone depletion

18. Water pollution • http://app.discoveryeducation.com/techbook2:concept/view/guidConceptId/f333f3d3-b871-4bb2-87b2-a3e65892cf09/guidUnitId/3996f088-4377-4d4d-bed5-bab0f56bb340#/tab=model-lesson-tab&page=1&subTab=session1 • We will move to Water pollution next

19. Water Pollution • When pollutants are added to the water supply • Oil spills • Fertilizers (chemicals)

20. Water Pollution • When a water supply is contaminated, not only are aquatic plants and animals affected, but also any organism that needs that water to survive

21. BP Oil Rig Explosion- 2010

22. BP Oil Rig Explosion- 2010

23. BP Oil Rig Explosion- 2010

24. The next 2 Videos describe what happens to the waste we produce at home • Reduce, reuse, recycle • Water, pollution, waste, skip to 3:33

25. Land Pollution Humans produce hundreds of millions of solid waste each year….. Where does it go?

26. To a landfill!

27. To a landfill!

28. To a landfill!

29. Human Development/Population • Today there is about 7 billion people on the Earth • By 2050 (when you guys are in your 50s) the predicted population is expected to be around 9 billion people • Go back to the website on your phones and answer the following question. • Do you think that our technology can prevent environmental collapse, or will our planet be too far from saving by 2050?

30. What if……. • An ecosystem of forests was destroyed and replaced with a large shopping mall? • Predict how this will most likely affect the environment of the area. • Result in habitat destruction • Decrease in animal population • Increase pollution

31. What if…… • As a city’s population grows, wooded areas are replaced by housing developments. • What effect will this most likely have on the species in the wooded areas? • Many of the species will leave the area • Some may die if there is no other habitat available

32. Pollution Pollution- adding harmful substances or products into the environment The use of fossil fuels is the major cause of pollution

33. Exit Ticket • What are the major contributing factors to pollution on our planet today? • What is the difference between a renewable resource and a nonrenewable one? • Give some examples of how we could help to relieve the strain on the environment caused by human pollution practices.
