Polar Bears: Tundra Lifestyle

Tundra is Fragile Because…. Slow growth  slow recovery rates Specialized species  highly sensitive to env. Change Simple food webs  minor changes lead to major effects Permafrost  long residence time of accidental pollutants.

ANWR Debate Should we open up ANWR for oil exploration and drilling? Two sides: Treehuggers USA and Wreck It Oil Company 5 minutes each side, 2 minute rebuttal after each side presents 5 judges: create a rubric to give to each side on how they will be judged.

Just A Suggestion… Get into groups of 4 in your larger group..make a list of advantages and disadvantages …then share out with the group.
