In this unit we will focus on how humans impact their environment. The focus will be on pollution and problems associated with it. Among the discussions will be earth's population, water pollution issues, and climate change.
The essential learning targets for this unit are as follows:
- I can explain that since humans have first walked the earth that they have had an impact on their environment.
- I can list and describe several examples of human interaction (both good and bad) that have occurred over the past few centuries.
- I can explain why the world population has increased and the repercussions of this increase.
- I can give examples of the more pressing environmental concerns of today and the ways they are (or are not) being addressed.
- I can describe ways to minimize human impact on earth.
