Environmental Science Do Now November 3, 2017 Do Now: Take your Do Now sheet out and answer each question about age structure of France versus India. Who lives longer in, both diagrams, males or females? Describe the overall shape of each diagram. Which country has a larger elderly population? Why? Which country has a larger youth population? Why? Which country has a larger middle-age population? Why?

Environmental Science Do Now November 3, 2017 KEY Do Now: Take your Do Now sheet out and answer each question about age structure of France versus India. Who lives longer in, both diagrams, males or females? France’s ASD is more slender with a gradual taper; India’s ASD is wider and has sharper taper. France has more elderly due to better health care than India. India has more youth because India’s death rate is higher than France’s. France has a larger middle-age population because health care than India.

Objective The student will demonstrate the ability to explain the growth of populations and various factors, such as, the social impact of an aging population and technology; by performing a close read and analyzing population curves, to make connections and draw conclusions. Mastery Level: 30 points of annotation comments + 6 annotation symbols on a close read article (social impact of an aging population/technology), 4/6 TDQs answered 14/20 (70%) on Population Kahoot

Homework – Copy! Suppose the world’s life expectancy increased by 20% for males and females. Give three problems this may pose to our current strained resources.

Engage Students will watch a YouTube video called “Technology's Effects on Society”. Guide Question: How has technology changed our society? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL2q5Q0Fusw

Explore Students will perform a close read on the article titled “The Technological Influence on Population Growth Trends”. As the students read the article, they will annotate it. The goal is for each student to earn 30 points worth of annotations plus 6 annotation symbols. Students will answer 5 text-dependent questions that are based on the article.

Lesson 8.2 Predicting Population Growth Age Structure – Copy! Age structure describes the relative number of people within different age brackets in a population. A population of mostly young people tends to grow. A population of mostly old people tends to shrink. A population with equal numbers of young and old tends to remain stable in size.

Sex Ratio – Copy! Describes the relative numbers of females and males Lesson 8.2 Predicting Population Growth Sex Ratio – Copy! Describes the relative numbers of females and males Typical sex ratio for humans is 1.00 females : 1.06 males. For every 100 females born, 106 males are born. Human activity such as migration can skew sex ratios.

Environmental Impacts – Copy! Lesson 8.3 People and Their Environments Environmental Impacts – Copy! The environmental impact of humans depends on the way they live. Poorer societies tend to have smaller ecological footprints than affluent societies, but still strain the environment: Overwhelmed governments can’t supply clean water or adequate sewage treatment. Poverty often leads to land overuse. Deforestation, flooding, disease, and habitat loss can become common, as land is cleared for farming.

Lesson 8.3 People and Their Environments The Wealth Gap – Copy! Currently, the richest 20% of the world’s people use 86% of its resources. As developing nations such as China continue to develop, new environmental problems will emerge, as the need for and use of resources increases. Resource availability affects quality of life. Did You Know? Globally, 1.4 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day, and another 2.6 billion live on less than $2 per day. Burning of fossil fuels creates a haze of pollution over the eastern coast of China.

Impacts of Technology – Copy! Lesson 8.3 People and Their Environments Impacts of Technology – Copy! Negative impacts: Has enabled resource exploitation (abuse) Has resulted in pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate changes Positive impacts: Enables longer, healthier, more comfortable lives Technologies such as recycling can help reduce environmental impact. Renewable energy technology can produce cheap, clean energy. Solar water pump
