Week 1 - Assignment
Environmental Footprint
Carefully review the
Grading Rubric
before beginning the assignment.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to learn more about how connected you are to the ecosystems and biosphere that you inhabit. You will learn how your everyday choices impact our environment. Most importantly, you will learn about the benefits of joining the increasing number of people who are making choices that reduce their environmental impact.
First, calculate your ecological footprint.
(If you are having difficulty getting any of the proper information from the calculator, you may need to try a different web browser. For instance, if you are using Google Chrome you may need to use Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, etc. If you are using one of these and are experiencing difficulties, you may need to try Google Chrome, etc.)
Use the
Footprint Calculator
to measure your ecological footprint and learn “how many Earths” it takes to support your lifestyle. Be sure to choose the “detailed response” option for each question.
Answer each question in the quiz honestly and record your answers and results in the
Environmental Footprint Reporting Form
.
Second, calculate your household carbon emissions.
Use the
Household Carbon Footprint Calculator
to measure your carbon emissions and determine your environmental impact and the benefits of solutions.
Section 1: Estimate your current total household emissions (from home energy use, vehicle use, waste).
Section 2: Explore actions you can take to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste disposal costs.
Section 3: See how much you can save (in dollars and emissions) by taking the actions you chose in Section 2.
Answer each question in the quiz honestly and record your answers and results in the Environmental Footprint Reporting Form. Complete Tables A and B as well as assignment questions 1 through 4 in complete sentences on the Environmental Footprint Reporting Form.
Complete Tables A and B as well as Questions 1 through 4 in complete sentences on the Environmental Footprint Reporting Form and submit the document via Waypoint. The document does not need to include a title page or other APA formatting; however, if you utilize any outside sources in your answers, you must reference these sources in proper APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

This slide-show originated at a one-day teaching workshop in January 2011. The event, organised by the Physiological Society was held at the University of Leeds.
The slides describe an activity used with undergraduate students at the University of Leicester, in which a short video "the smell of fear" from the popular (and populist) science programme Brainiac is used to introduce the notion of experimental design. This is used hand-in-hand with discussion of a formal scientific paper on the same topic.
This set of slides is to talk about the activity. There is a second set with a similar title http://www.slideshare.net/cjrw2/experimental-design-the-smell-of-fear which are intended for use by anyone actually using the activity to teach experimental design.
The colour of the background to the slides in the current presentation is significant - the purple slides are ABOUT the activity, the black slides are examples of pages from within the activity.

2. Bell Work 1/30/2015
Explain in your own words how you think your
invasive species might destabilize the ecosystems that
it has been introduced to
People who earned 3’s and 4’s on their last test ONLY
3. Welcome!Itinerary
Invasive species discussion
Dual track activities today:
Test review
Food Web
Announcements:
To join class discussions on celly,
check your Edmodo for the join
link”
Today’s Learning Target:
I can visualize trophic interactions
via a food web
4. NEW UNIT:
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that
changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem
affect population
AND…
Evaluate competing designs for maintaining biodiversity and
ecosystem services
Δ =
-
+
6. Biological (Biotic) Components of an
Ecosystem
Community - a group of interdependent organisms
inhabiting the same region and interacting with each
other
Population - A group of individuals that belong to the
same species and live in the same area
?? What is the difference between a community and an
ecosystem? ??
7. Invasive Species Discussion
Remember: You need to be an expert on YOUR
invasive species in order to share out to other people.
What are some commonalities that we are finding
between invasive species?
Can we draw any inferences between what happens
when a NEW species is introduced to an ecosystem vs.
a reintroduction?
9. Test Review:
If you earned a 1 or 2 during your last exam, you are
remediation today with a review sheet. No Kahoots, not
socratives…you need to put in the time for repetition that
you might not have during class.
Don’t rush. You do not finish reviewing until I have talked with
you and are convinced that you are ready to retake the test.
Anything you need help with, track down your resident rocket
scientist. If both of you are stumped, come find me.
10. 3’s and 4’s
If you earned a 3 or a 4, there are 3 options:
1.) Food web activity (we will do this later for homework, so
you might be able to get it done now)
2.) Ecosystems padlet activity: Open the padlet on your
computer and add resources that are mentioned on the
padlet.
3.) Resident Rocket Scientist – People at the review tables (1,3
and 5) will need assistance. You may assist people in their
review, but you are NOT to do their work for them.
