Biology Topic 8 - Conservation

I would like for each of you to go to our wiki: dcaendangeredspecies.wikispaces.com and look at 5 of your classmates' wikis. I would like for you to discuss on your blog those 5 endangered species. In addition, I would like for you to reflect on what you can do to help the conservation effort and whether you think it is even important.

Biology Topic 7 - Food For Thought

After today's food for thought activity, tell me what you think. Were you surprised at the differences in the populations of people world wide? Which population surprised you the most? Were you surprised about the differences in the amount of food in different regions of the world? Which ones surprised you the most? Do you now have a different perspective of what it means to be a North American?

Biology Topic 6 - Human Population Growth

Now that you've completed the study of population growth, check out these video clips and answer the questions at the bottom.

Human Population Growth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyOD2YTu_Lg

Overpopulation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGrcbxNdaSc&feature=related

After having watched these video clips, I want you to do a little research and tell me HOW can we stop this trend. Obviously, our human activities as well as the shear numbers of people on the planet are headed for a collision course. So, check out the web and come up with THREE possible solutions (that can help curb human population growth) that will not be offensive or infringe on basic human rights. In addition, if we don't do anything about human population growth, tell me THREE things that might happen to our planet long term.
