What we did today is....

At the begning of class we truned in last nights homework (Questions 1-5. on page 15) Then what we did was she told us to get out our computers after she gave us your numbers. When we had logged on we got into edline and put our emails on the edline account if we did not have it there already. After we set up an account on this site, she told us to post comments showing that we had been on here. When we had posted she explained the rules about bad things to say.

1. Be kind
2. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all."
3. Just the basic things.

Then after all that she had us do the bell ringer.

Q: How is ecology related to Environmental Science?

A: Ecology is one of the three most imporant foundations in Environmental Science. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment and one another. Ecology is part of the study of Biology, which is the study of living organisms as a whole.

When we were done with that we found out that Holt (the website for the textbook) is currently down.

This is an example of what the homeworks headline should look like.

Section 1.2 on page 21 questions 1-4

For the people that still have vocab to do...

Environmental Science- The study of the impact of humans on the environment. This is on page 5

Ecology- The sudy of how living things interact with each other and with the envirenment. This is on page 6.

Agriculture- This is the practice of growing, breeding, and caring for a plant or animal that is going to be used for food. This can be found on page 10.

Natural Resource- This is any natural material that is used by humans, such as water, petroleum, minerals, forests, and animals. This is found on page 14.

Pollution- This is an undesriable change in the natural envirnment that is caused by the introduction of substances that are harmful to the living organisims or by exssive wates, heat, noise, or ratiation. This can be found on page 14 of your book.

Biodiversity- This is the variety of organisms in a given area, the genetic variation within a population, the variety of species in a community, or the variety of communities in an ecosystem. This is on page 15.

Law of Supply and Demand- This is a law of economics that states that as the demand for a good or service increases, the value of the good or service also. This can be found on page 17

Ecological Footprint- This is a calulation that shows the productive area of earth needed to support one person in a particular country. This can be found on page 19.

Sustainaility- This is a condition in which human need are met in such a way that a human population can survive indefinitely. This is found on page 21.

Questions on tonight's homework

1. Describe three differences between developing and developed nations useing the exmaples in Table 3. Would you classify Mexico as a developing nation? Explain.
2. Explain why critical thinking is an imporant skill in environmental science.
3. Explain the law of supply and demand, and give an example of how it relates to the environment.
4. Apply ideas... The law of supply and demand is a simplifaction of economic patterns. What other factors might affect the cost of a barrel of oil?
