1. How has an increase in human population impacted the Adelie penguin population? Claim - Choose from the options below that represent the best answer to the question above. Write the claim on your graphic organizer. - An increase in human population has had no impact on the Adelie penguin population. - An increase in human population has caused the Adelie penguin population to increase. - An increase in human population has caused the Adelie penguin population to decrease.

2. Record the following resources in the "Evidence" of your graphic organizer: - Birds with Attitude Adelie Penguin Video - Where do penguins live? - Human Population/Energy Consumption

3. Refer to the data table/graph below and choose the piece(s) of evidence that best support the claim. Write this in the evidence box on your graphic organizer. Evidence 1: Human Population/Energy Consumption - From the world population increased from 1 billion to 2.6 billion people. - From the world population increased from 2.6 billion to 6.8 billion people. At the same time the world energy consumption increases from 150EJ in 1960 to 450EJ in From the world population stayed nearly the same at 1 billion people. - In 1950 the number of vehicles registered in the US was 74 million and by 2011 there were 253 million vehicles registered. - The amount of fuel consumed between tripled from 58 billion gallons to 168 billion gallons.

4. Refer to the article below and choose the piece(s) of evidence that best support the claim. Write this in the evidence box on your graphic organizer. Evidence 2: Birds with Attitude - Penguins can dive down to 180 meters though they tend to catch their food (mainly krill and fish) much closer to the surface. - In areas of Antarctica where climate change is established, the Adelie penguin populations have decreased by more that 65% in the past 25 years.

5. Refer to the video below and choose the piece(s) of evidence that best support the claim. Write this in the evidence box on your graphic organizer. Evidence 3: Adelie Penguin Video - Adelie penguins feed on krill and small fish to survive - Eggs are laid in November with parents taking turns incubating the eggs. - Penguin chicks beg for food by pecking.

6. Refer to the article below and choose the piece(s) of evidence that best support the claim. Write this in the evidence box on your graphic organizer. Evidence 4: Where do penguins live? - On the Arctic peninsula, sea ice had decreased by 60% over 30 years causing krill population to decrease as well. - Warm temperatures make chicks hatch too early when food levels are low. - Too much ice in eastern Antarctica makes penguins travel farther for food. - Strange weather patterns causing too much rain, not snow in , caused penguin chicks to die because their feathers aren't waterproof.

7. Reasoning 1. What is the relationship between world population and burning fossil fuels? 2. What gas is released and why does this cause atmospheric temperature to rise? 3. Why does climate change in different parts of the world when atmospheric temperatures increase? (watch Greenland Video on weebly, Causes of Climate Change) 4. How does the climate change in Eastern Antarctica and on the Arctic Peninsula? How does this affect the penguin population?
