Modern Extinction The Sixth Mass Extinction

Essential Questions What is extinction? Which species have become extinct in modern times? What are the characteristics of past mass extinctions? How do modern extinction rates compare with natural (background) rates? How do human activities result in species extinctions, and what species have become extinct due to human activities? On a piece of notebook paper, write out and answer these questions in your own words.

Objectives Define extinction. Cite examples of past mass extinctions and recent species extinctions. Compare current extinction rates with background extinction rates. Analyze the connection between recent extinctions and human activities. Cite examples of how human activities have caused species extinctions. You should be able to intelligently discuss these items with your peers or teacher.
