Connection: (current issues) Millions of trees are cleared out each year to make room for new development. Trees are one of the largest producers of oxygen. Cutting down trees hurts humans and animals.

Claim: Humans disrupt and destroy ecosystems

Connection: (short creative story) Bob and Dylan's grandpa worked in the coal mines most of his life. He was later diagnosed with lung cancer. Bob and Dylan wanted to figure out an alternative source for electricity and heat so there was less mining and healthier people. They researched wind energy and decided to start a wind farm.

Claim: No mining is not essential for modern life. There are plenty of alternatives.

Geothermal can be used as heat (takes heat from earth)

Solar can be used as heat and energy (solar panels)

Wind can be used as energy (windmills)

Connection: (current event) Astronauts that landed on the moon have seen the earth with their eyes. NASA also takes pictures with satellites.

Claim: Its 3rd from sun in the Milky Way Galaxy

Connection: (current issues) Scientific consensus on climate change is related to global warming. The average temperature of the earth has risen 0.4 degrees fahrenheit over the past 100 years. Co2 emissions and greenhouse gases are the main causes of this.

Claim: Climate change/Global warming and plate tectonics is making the Earth change

Resources: www.livescience.com, science notebook, and the news

Plate tectonics moves stuff around on earth changing it.

Co2 emissions from vehicles and manufacturing causes acid rain and global warming

Trash pollution and industrial pollution causes the climate to change
