Student Learning Map
- Topic:04- Conserving the Environment
- Subject(s):Science
- Days:10
- Grade(s):10
Key Learning:
The studying of biodiversity has lead to a greater understanding of how species can become extinct. Conservation practices based on scientific knowledge can help to prevent the permanent loss of species.
Unit Essential Question(s):
Concept: Conservation Biology
Discuss the factors affecting biodiversity including: catastrophic events, climate change, human activity and invasive non-native species.
Discuss renewable and nonrenewable resources including: water, energy, fossil fuels, wild life and forests. Discussions should include an emphasis on coal, fossil fuels and deforestation.
HOTS: Constructing Support, Comparing/Contrasting or Deductive Reasoning could be used to demonstrate the ET LEQ.
Concept: Environmental Policy
Discuss environmental parameters including air and water quality, other natural resources, global temperature and climate change and populations of species.
HOTS: Analyzing Perspective, Constructing Support or Abstracting could be used to demonstrate the ET LEQs.
Concept: Lesson Essential Question(s):What are the major causes and effects of the loss of biodiversity?
What are the similarities and differences between renewable and nonrenewable resources?
How do we use renewable resources to lower our impact on biodiversity?
Lesson Essential Question(s):How is adequate monitoring of environmental parameters useful in making policy decisions?
How do human activities impact environmental systems?
