  1. Standards for Environmental Science

  2. Bell Work, 8/9 • Answer the following question: Why do we need to learn about environmental science? • USE AT LEAST THREE SENTENCES

  3. Standard 1: Earth System • Abiotic factors exert a profound influence on the global system • Includes: Climate patterns, plate tectonics, rock cycle, atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere

  4. Standard 1: Earth System • What is it? • All of the non-living things in an environment that have an effect on the global ecosystem

  5. Standard 1: Earth System • Top Five Vocab: • Theory of Plate Tectonics • Rock cycle • Abiotic • Hydrosphere • Biosphere

  6. Standard 2: The Living World • The global ecosystem involves interactions between biotic and abiotic factors. • Includes: Laws of Thermodynamics, biodiversity, coevolution, biomes, biological succession, biogeochemical cycle

  7. Standard 2: The Living World • What is it? • All of the interactions between non-living AND living things that maintain the global ecosystem

  8. Standard 2: The Living World • Top Five Vocab: • Laws of Thermodynamics • Biodiversity • Biomes • Biological succession • Biogeochemical cycle

  9. Standard 3: Human Population • Worldwide, human population is growing exponentially • Includes: Influences on human population, economic consequences of population growth, and fertility rate and life expectancy

  10. Standard 3: Human Population • What is it? • The human population has grown exponentially in recent years due to a number of factors

  11. Standard 3: Human Population • Top Five Vocab: • Fertility rate • Exponential growth • Life expectancy • Demographic • Economic factors

  12. Standard 4: Water and Land Resources • Humans use natural resources in a variety of ways • Includes: Practices in agriculture and urban development, preservation, conservation, and natural resources

  13. Standard 4: Water and Land Resources • What is it? • An exploration of human use of natural resources

  14. Standard 4: Water and Land Resources • Top Five Vocab: • Preservation • Conservation • Natural resources • Renewable resources • Non-renewable resources

  15. Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption • Humans use both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy • Includes: Energy resources

  16. Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption • What is it? • Comparing various energy sources and identifying the need of new energy resources for the future

  17. Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption • Top Five Vocab • Energy resources • Consumption • Carbon footprint • Biofuels • Energy conservation

  18. Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution • Many human activities result in pollution • Includes: Pollution and protecting resources

  19. Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution • What is it? • Exploration of the causes of pollution and the ways that it can be reduced

  20. Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution • Top Five Vocab Words: • Air pollution • Water pollution • Land pollution • Remediation • Solid waste

  21. Standard 7: Global Change and Civic Responsibility • Human interaction with the local environment has global consequences • Includes: How Tennessee impacts the world, efforts to protect biodiversity, ozone depletion, climate change, and global temperature increase

  22. Standard 7: Global Change and Civic Responsibility • What is it? • Discussion of ways that local decisions about the environment have a big impact on the world
