Activity 3.2.1 – Natural Resources Review

Image
  My chart is broken down in the order of the video. So natural resources, renewable resources, non-renewable resources, recycling and reuse, natural resource alternatives, and sustainability. They all follow with the question, what is it? I then write the definition, then below it is some examples. For the first one natural resources, I wrote down anything people use that is from the environment. An example I used was how humans use it like eating an apple. Then below that, I wrote natural resource examples like air and water. Renewable resource definition I just put that it can be replaced by nature. Then non-renewable resources cannot be replaced by nature. Some examples I put for renewable were wind and solar energy from the sun. I also added that just because it is renewable does not be it can't become scarce. I wrote down the example of cutting more trees faster than replacing them for them to grow. For non-renewable, I put the example of rocks and natural gas. Next to it, I ...

  Chapter four I organized in six groups. Precipitation/ hydrologic cycle then below that is the steps to the cycle. Next, I have atmosphere and below it the four layers. Next, I put climate macro and microclimate below it. Following, I put electromagnetic and the electromagnetic spectrum below it. After that is kinetic with the two kinds of kinetic below it. Thermal and mechanical then the meaning below that. Last I put potential with the four kinds of it. Electrical, nuclear, chemical, and gravitational. Chapter seven I organized in three categories. Biodiversity was the first one which I broke down into animals, wild species of plants, microorganisms, and utilitarian value. Then below those I just put what those meant and the benefit of them. Next, I put intrinsic value then below it the meaning of it. After I put kingdoms with the five categories. Monera, Protista, fungi, plantae, and Amalia. Then below that just what's in that category. Which is why Amalia has so much below it...

Activity 2.2.1 – My daily water use

  A verage household of four water use per month: November- 4,489 December- 5,985 January- 5,980 4,489+5,985+5980= 16454/ 3 months= 5,485 5,485/4= 1,371 gallons per person/month 1,371/30= 46 gallons per day Water Calculator  https://home-water-works.org/calculator Per day/person water usage results: 44.3 gallons Water use Calculator (Southwest Florida water management district) https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/conservation/water-use-calculator Per day/person water usage results: 48 gallons It took me by surprise how much water my family and I use in a day. I never really even thought about it. I knew the simple rules, like turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth. Not fully understanding the importance of doing it. I asked my mom to see how much water we utilized over these past three months for this assignment. That's when she mentioned a letter she got in the mail. In the letter, it explains how much water we use out of all the neighbors on our culdesac. Although we ha...
