Air-Ocean-Energy Connections


The air is a commons.  The water is a commons.   Energy consumption and efforts directly affect these issues.


First: 8:15-9

Jigsaw read the following sections from the text book.  To do this, you will pair off by twos and choose two of the following readings

Unit 8, Water, Section 8.
Unit 2, Atmosphere, Section 6
Unit 11, Pollution, Section 2
Unit 8, Water, Section 8
Unit 7, Agriculture, Section 8
Unit 2, Water, Section 5
Unit 3, Oceans, Section 4

Create a class chart that connects this information.   To do that, write down the three most important ideas on each section on separate sticky notes (Abbi, they are in the supply cabinet).  Put your name/partner on each of the stickies and put on the board.  Try to organize the information by moving stickies as needed or drawing arrows to show connections.  DOCUMENT THE CLASS WORK and send me a picture, please.




YOUR RESPONSE

Create a pollution impact sketch or chart for the years 1800, 1900, and 2000.  Take a look at web pollution resources, and  connect the impacts of wind power, biomass burning, oil/gas/grease power, water power, solar, and geothermal in a pre-1900 world.  Include effects on the land, the water, and the air.
