Presentation transcript:

Term 1 Project- Human Influence Terms to know: Renewable source Non-renewable source Environmental capacity

Project Requirements A works cited page listing 5-7 sources in APA format ½ Page summary about your particular topic 5- minute power point presentation all group members participate

Presentation Requirements Define the issue- what is the behavior. Why is it a problem? What causes it? How big of a problem is it? Explain why humans perform this behavior- what does it do for us? What words (3 minimum) should we understand to know about this problem What specific organisms/environments does/can it effect? What food chains/webs could be affected? Provide a specific real life example of the situation. Is this problem solved? How? If not, are there efforts to solve it? Come up with a solution!

Rubric/ Grading Scale Points are given for the following Information (25) All the requirements for the summary appear in the power point for the group (problem/effects/solution) Completion (5) Group is finished Performance/Participation (10) Each member participated, helped research, and had a presentation part The presentation is rehearsed- students are NOT reading the power point information, but know their information by heart to share with the class

Different groups Humans and air pollution Global warming Water pollution Over-population Mining for minerals/elements etc Drilling for oil Herbicide and pesticide use Building dams and using hydroelectric power Nuclear power plants Human introduction of native species Deforestation (logging/ removal for agriculture) Poaching- hunting-illegal hunting- protecting endangered species
