Standard

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

b. Design, evaluate, and refine
solutions to reduce human impact on
the environment including,
but not limited to, smog, ozone
depletion, urbanization, and ocean
acidification.

I can explain ways humans could
reduce their impact on air quality.

I can describe ways humans can
help reduce the causes and
consequences of global warming.

Save the world: waste
accumulation

● How people are saving the

world with this problem

Picture here for the impact

Ins“I’m a plant pathologist,”
says Nelson. “But it has really
come home to me that plant
health requires soil health.
That led me to a focus on a
circular economy for organic
nutrients, including nutrients
from food waste, before and
after human consumption.”

farming

●Solution: Vertical farming is a
method of growing crops in
stacked layers, typically indoors,
instead of on a single surface. It
uses artificial growing systems,
such as hydroponics,
aquaponics, and aeroponics, to
optimize plant growth.

Water reduction and garbage clean-up

Solution: the practice of
reducing or eliminating
waste before it's
created. It can involve
changing how products are
manufactured, or how
consumers buy, use, and
reuse products

Safer forms of energy

●Alternative energy sources-carbon
neutral energy. Carbon neutral energy
sources are those that produce minimal
to no net carbon emissions when
generating energy, including solar, wind,
geothermal, hydroelectric power, nuclear
power, and certain forms of biomass
energy (when managed sustainably) as
they rely on naturally replenished
resources and do not directly contribute
to greenhouse gas emissions.

How do human activities impact air quality?

What can be done to improve air quality?

Remind me… What is the greenhouse effect?

Which of these surprise you the most?

Air Pollution

Look at real-time air
quality around the world.

Where is it good?

Where is the air

Bwhich of the following energy sources is not considered carbon nuetral

Solar power

wind power

natural gas

Geothermal energy

Multiple Choice

1. Which of the following energy sources is NOT considered carbon neutral?

• wind

• solar power

• Natural gas

• Geothermal energy

NAtural gas

What can we do?

● Limit the amount of pollutants that make it into the air

○Scrubbers - used to remove pollutants from industrial exhaust

○Catalytic Converters - filters out harmful byproducts in vehicle exhaust

● Pass laws to lower air pollution

○Clean Air Act

○Environmental Protection Agency

● Using less fossil fuels or products that cause air pollution

How well did you do?

●Go back to your remediation
task tomorrow we will spend
class time on those.

●If you got 70% or higher you
get Gimkit spare time, enjoy
you earned it!

Open Ended

The activity is clear as mud: Think about pollution and between the three types of ecosystem pollution. What is the clearest to understand and muddiest part?

Example I understand population as growth or shrink of it determines energy consumed and waste produced. It is thick as mud for carbon's role whether it is waste or nutrition.

See you next time!
