SCCI'16-TechSolve session2(problem solving)
This document outlines a 6-step process for problem solving: 1) identify the problem, 2) consider possible solutions, 3) attempt to apply a solution, 4) fail if the solution does not work, 5) repeat steps 1-3 until no longer failing, 6) feel like a genius once a working solution is found. The process emphasizes identifying the problem, considering multiple solutions, applying and testing solutions, and persisting through failure until a solution is discovered.

Landforms
The document discusses how landforms on Earth were created. It introduces the theory of plate tectonics, which explains that approximately 200 million years ago, the single supercontinent of Pangaea broke apart into separate continents. These continents are parts of shifting tectonic plates. The movement of these plates over time is what caused the continents to separate and form in their current locations and shapes. The theory of plate tectonics explains how different landforms like mountains and valleys were formed through both slow changes and rapid changes in the Earth's surface.
Themesof geographypresentation
This document defines and provides examples of key geographic concepts including absolute and relative location, physical and human characteristics, how people interact with their environment, movement within and between places, and different types of regions. It uses the United States as a context for students to think about examples of these geographic concepts. Key points covered include that absolute location uses a grid of latitude and longitude while relative location describes where a place is in relation to others, and that regions can be defined by shared directional, political, physical, agricultural, economic or cultural traits.

Working Day - HEI Presentation
This document outlines the requirements for a unit assessment project on human-environment interactions. Students must choose one of four topics: deforestation, pollution, fossil fuels vs. renewable energy, or global warming/climate change. The presentation must include a description of the topic, how it relates to human dependence on the environment, three examples of the topic with impacts and sources cited. Optionally, students can take on a challenge by additionally covering a natural disaster linked to human environmental impact, such as hurricanes, floods or wildfires. They must describe the disaster and how it has increased due to human activity.
Climate Change
This document provides an interactive notebook activity on climate change that has students label and take notes on a climate change map. For different regions, they are to summarize one effect of climate change and write it as a note on the map. Regions include Antarctica, Africa, Switzerland, Russia, India, Bangladesh, Tibet, Fiji, and Canada. Example effects included melting ice and glaciers, increased flooding, wildfires, rising temperatures, and sea level rise threatening island nations. Students will then watch videos about the impacts facing Kiribati and discuss related issues.
Effects of climate change
This document outlines an entry task and learning activity for students to research and present on various ways that global warming affects the environment. It divides students into groups that will each focus on one of nine effects of climate change: droughts & wildfires, hurricanes, rainstorms, deadly heat waves, allergies & asthma, infectious diseases, ecosystem shift/species die-off, melting glaciers/early ice thaw, and rising sea levels. The groups will read about their assigned effect, then create and present a newscast answering questions about signs, causes, concerns, and potential related problems and impacted areas.
Global Warming
This document provides information about how to navigate a PowerPoint presentation on global warming. It explains that clicking on underlined words will take the user to different pages or sections within the presentation. It also notes that the "Back" and "Home" buttons can be used to navigate between pages, and images may also be clickable links.
The Greenhouse Effect & Global Warming
The burning of fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment by contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. The document discusses how the greenhouse effect traps heat from the Earth's surface, which would otherwise be around -18 degrees Celsius without this effect. However, increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing this effect and causing average global temperatures to rise. This phenomenon is called global warming. The document instructs students to learn more about these topics by watching videos, completing an activity comparing past and present temperatures, and making posters explaining the process of global warming.
Renewable Energy
The document discusses the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy. It defines renewable energy as energy sources that are constantly replenished, such as biomass, geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar energy. It provides details on each of the five main renewable energy sources, describing how they work to generate electricity or heat. For solar energy, it explains how solar panels capture energy from the sun to convert it into electricity or heat. For wind energy, it discusses how wind turbines harness the wind's kinetic energy. For water power, it describes how dams store and release water to spin turbines. For geothermal, it explains tapping heat from the Earth's core. For biomass, it covers energy
Non-renewable energy
Energy is the ability to produce change or do work. There are two main types of energy sources: non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable sources exist in finite quantities and include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While they provide a large amount of energy, their use also causes pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Non Renewable Energy
The document discusses different types of energy resources. It defines energy as the ability to produce change or do work. Energy resources are divided into nonrenewable and renewable categories. Nonrenewable resources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While nonrenewable resources allow for large-scale electricity production cheaply and ease of transport, their main disadvantage is pollution through carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, contributing to issues like global warming and acid rain.

Human pollution, especially plastic waste, is endangering many animal species. The 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' has accumulated plastic trapped in ocean currents in an area twice the size of France.
