CAMERA POLICY

Teachers will send a private message then verbal warning if a student’s camera is not on.
Continued non-camera use will result in moving up the discipline ladder.

First offense: Teacher conferences with student and documents in IC.

Second offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC and documents in IC.

Third offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC, sends over to academic
coach for support and documents in IC.

Fourth offense: Academic coach submits discipline referral to discipline AP

Please make sure to turn your camera on at the beginning of each class.

You can set it to private (only teacher sees) or public (everyone sees).

Vocabulary definition

1.Population The total number of people living in a specific area, region, or
country.
2.Urbanization The process by which more people move from rural
areas to cities, leading to the growth and development of urban areas.

3.Urban Sprawl The uncontrolled expansion of urban areas into
surrounding rural land, often resulting in a spread-out city layout.

5.Mining The process of extracting valuable minerals or other geological
materials from the Earth, which can have significant
environmental impacts.

Vocabulary definition

6. Mountaintop Removal A mining practice where the tops of mountains

   are removed to access coal seams, resulting in environmental degradation.

How do human activities impact water quality?

What can be done to improve water quality?

Standard

SEV4. Obtain, evaluate, and
communicate information to analyze
human impact on natural resources.

.a. Construct and revise a claim based on evidence on the effects of human activities on natural resources.

 

I can list ways human activities
impact water sources.

I can explain ways in which
humans can help lower the
environmental impact on water.

Learning Targets

The Water Cycle

●population and demand
on freshwater resources
are increasing

●

supply will always remain
constant

●the water cycle
continuously returns
water to Earth but it is not
always returned to the
same place, or in the same
quantity and quality

How do humans impact our water?

●Pollution

○Trash, chemicals, waste

○Fertilizers - eutrophication

●Irrigation

●Changing weather patterns

●What other ways can you think of?

Eutrophication

Humans use fertilizer to
help grass and crops grow.

The excess fertilizer washes
down sewers and runs in to
rivers and ponds.

Then what happens?

Multiple Choice

What is the most precious thing in thw world today

• polluted water

• salt water

• clean, fresh water

• fresh water

Question guantlet

5 question trivia-ready? ​

Multiple Choice

Process used in water treatment process where water is pushed through screens, sand, gravel and coal to remove organisms and trash

• filtration

• chlorination

• coagulation

• bioreactors

Multiple Choice

Often water must be treated to become _______, safe to drink

• pathogen

• potable

• clarified

• bonifide

Multiple Choice

What is the best way to CONSERVE water use in an agricultural setting...

• low flow toilets

• reuse cooling water

• drip irrigation

• high power overhead irrigation

Multiple Choice

The image here is how humans control rivers for the last few hundred years. This is

• diverting water thru canels

• create an aquaduct

• damming a river

• desalination plant

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a disadvantage of dams and reservoirs?

• man made lakes used for drinking water, recreation and industry

• hydroelectric power

• existing ecosystems changed, displacing species and humans

• flood control

Multiple Choice

While expensive and inefficient now, the removal of salt from ocean water may help create more potable water in the future

• water transport

• towing icebergs

• desalination plants

• xeriscaping

Irrigation - the watering of land by artificial means to foster plant growth

●the water can come from groundwater, wells,
rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or other sources, such
as treated wastewater or desalinated water

●we must be careful not to take out more water
than gets into the ground

●

can degrade the soil
○Soil can become waterlogged which drowns the roots of
plants. Salinity can increase from minerals in the water.

Increasing Use

Humans use six times as much water
today as they did 100 years ago.

People living in developed countries
use a far greater proportion of the
world’s water than people in less
developed countries.

What do people use all of that

water for?

Water Footprint

Your water footprint is made up
of how you use water directly,
such as drinking it and showers.

It also includes your indirect use
of water such as food
production.

Go here to find out your water
footprint and some ways to
reduce it.

_____ % of water was used to
grow food through irrigation
and aquaculture in 2010.

12%

32%

35%

45%

Power plants with steam
turbines (like coal plants)

Changes in Rainfall

Irrigation causes increases in water evaporation, impacting both surface
temperature and atmospheric moisture conditions.

Studies at MIT have confirmed that cropland irrigation can reduce rainfall over
the irrigated area but can increase rainfall thousands of miles away.

Why does this happen?

How might it affect the

future?

_____ % of water was used to
grow food through irrigation
and aquaculture in 2010.

and aquaculture in 2010.
