Describe how humans are dependent on resources.

The Chemical and Physical properties of some resources: i.e. fossil fuels; natural gas.

Costs, benefits and limits of energy sources (fossil fuels, alternate energy).

Humans consume various resources throughout their lives.

Impact of human actions on Earth's climate.

How do we evaluate costs and benefits of extracting and using resources?

Potential use of a resource is determined by its chemical and physical properties.

Forms of energy (e.g. EM, sound, potential, kinetic)

Essential Questions

Do humans have a unique responsibility to the Earth?

How does the energy I use in my home affect the environment?

If energy could not be transformed or transferred, how would your life change?

Students will understand that...

Different ways of obtaining, transforming and distributing energy have different environmental impacts.
