Standards for Environmental Science
Bell Work, 8/9 Answer the following question:
Why do we need to learn aboutenvironmental science?
USE AT LEAST THREE SENTENCES
Standard 1: Earth System Abiotic factors exert a profound
influence on the global system Includes: Climate patterns, plate
tectonics, rock cycle, atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere
Standard 1: Earth System What is it?
All of the non-living things in an environment that have an effect on the global ecosystem
Standard 1: Earth System Top Five Vocab:
Theory of Plate Tectonics Rock cycle Abiotic Hydrosphere Biosphere
Standard 2: The Living World The global ecosystem involves
interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.
Includes: Laws of Thermodynamics, biodiversity, coevolution, biomes, biological succession, biogeochemical cycle
Standard 2: The Living World What is it?
All of the interactions between non-living AND living things that maintain the global ecosystem
Standard 2: The Living World Top Five Vocab:
Laws of Thermodynamics Biodiversity Biomes Biological succession Biogeochemical cycle
Standard 3: Human Population Worldwide, human population is
growing exponentially Includes: Influences on human
population, economic consequences of population growth, and fertility rate and life expectancy
Standard 3: Human Population What is it?
The human population has grown exponentially in recent years due to a number of factors
Standard 3: Human Population Top Five Vocab:
Fertility rate Exponential growth Life expectancy Demographic Economic factors
Standard 4: Water and Land Resources Humans use natural resources in a
variety of ways Includes: Practices in agriculture and
urban development, preservation, conservation, and natural resources
Standard 4: Water and Land Resources What is it?
An exploration of human use of natural resources
Standard 4: Water and Land Resources Top Five Vocab:
Preservation Conservation Natural resources Renewable resources Non-renewable resources
Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption Humans use both renewable and non-
renewable sources of energy Includes: Energy resources
Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption What is it?
Comparing various energy sources and identifying the need of new energy resources for the future
Standard 5: Energy Resources and Consumption Top Five Vocab
Energy resources Consumption Carbon footprint Biofuels Energy conservation
Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution Many human activities result in pollution Includes: Pollution and protecting
resources
Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution What is it?
Exploration of the causes of pollution and the ways that it can be reduced
Standard 6: Waste Production and Pollution Top Five Vocab Words:
Air pollution Water pollution Land pollution Remediation Solid waste
Standard 7: Global Change and Civic Responsibility Human interaction with the local
environment has global consequences Includes: How Tennessee impacts the
world, efforts to protect biodiversity, ozone depletion, climate change, and global temperature increase
Standard 7: Global Change and Civic Responsibility What is it?
Discussion of ways that local decisions about the environment have a big impact on the world
Standard 7: Global Change and Civic Responsibility Top Five Vocab:
Biodiversity Ozone depletion Climate change Global temperature increase Endangered species
