1. Opening Activity: Feb. 12, 2018
Have your homework: “Energy Scenarios” and Carbon Pool diagrams out for a stamp.
Pick up TWO handouts at front table and tape in:
Human Energy Systems Study Guide – Due 2/16
How do I use carbon? – Worksheet
Fill out #1 on “How I use carbon” worksheet. We will revisit your thoughts later in class.
I can…
Apply matter and energy rules to Energy Story.
Calculate and reflect your current carbon use.
Homework:
Human Energy Systems Test 2/16
Study Guide 2/16

2. Find your “Energy Story” Partner:
1. As a group of review your work:
a. Why is this an energy use?
What is the source of this energy?
How do carbon atoms move as a result of this?
2. Review your story and diagrams:
Do all parts of the story follow the matter & energy rules?
Do carbon atoms ever disappear?
When carbon leaves one pool, does it always enter another?
3. Answer #2 on “How I use organic carbon” worksheet. Describe each energy transfer.

3. Lifestyle Scenarios Visit all the stations around the room.
At each station read each lifestyle card and select a lifestyle that best fits your current lifestyle.
Write your lifestyle on your worksheet in journal.

4. Calculate your Lifestyle Carbon Usage
Return to your table and calculate your carbon usage based on your lifestyle choice.
What is your TOTAL carbon output?

5. Lifestyles and per capita emissions for different countries
The lifestyles described in the last activity were loosely based on average lifestyles for four countries.
Which countries do you think are represented by lifestyle choices A, B, C, and D?
What information are you using to guess?

Why do you think these countries have different carbon emissions? Use information you know about each country to suggest reasons for this variation.

9. Opening Activity: Feb. 13, 2018
Reflect on yesterday’s “Lifestyle Makeover” activity:
You were allowed to make “choices” about your lifestyle. Which of these things do you make “choices” about everyday, and which of these things are determined by where you live?
How much “choice” does a person living in Ethiopia have about how she or he uses carbon every day? Explain.
What are the consequences for the environment if we continue with our current lifestyles in the United States? What are the consequences for people?
I can…
