Senior Biology - Grade 11 (B.1- Diversity of Living Things)

CONCEPTS

TERTIARY: Extreme Weather Events affect Human Safety and Food Supply

SECONDARY: A Rapidly Changing Climate is Impacting Ecosystems

PRIMARY: Human Activities and Negatively Impacting Native Biodiversity

Assessment OF Learning

Assessment AS Learning

Assessment FOR Learning

ASSIGNMENT: Create a Graphic Organization Chart that describes and connects: A) The Main Impacts and Affects of Humans on Global Climate, B) The stressors and Impacts of Climate and Land Use Changes to Ecosystems, and B) the Related impacts of Climate Change and Land Use to Human Safety and Food Supply

HUMAN SAFETY AND FOOD SECURITY

Extreme Weather Events

Subtopic

Water Quantity and Quality

Disease

Flooding

Crop Loss

ECOSYSTEM STRESSORS

Climate Patterns Disrupt food chain and seasonal timing

Extreme Weather Events = destruction of habitat

Changing Weather Patterns = Species cannot adapt quick enough

Ocean Acidification

Cultivation = monoculture/no diversity

Pesticides + Erosion & Run Off

Disease and Invasive Species

Deforestation = Habitat Loss & Species Exterpation

HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT AFFECT CLIMATE

Land Use Changes

Agricultural Uses

Monoculture & Pesticides

Factory Farming (Water Use/Methane)

Deforestation / Forest Loss

Urbanization

Heat Island - Impervious Surfaces

Carbon Emissions

Extreme Weather

Weather Pattern Disruption

Ice Melt - Sea Level Rise

Warming Temperature

Atmospheric Insulation (CO2)

OF Learning: Write a Reflection Journal about what you might do or change about your life as a result of what you learned.

AS Learning: Evaluate another groups's Activity Chart (Peer Assessment Activity)
