Environmental Science 12

  1. Watch the first two “units” of project Drawdown.  

They are found on the website:  https://drawdown.org/climate-solutions-101 

Videos are embedded in the middle of the page. 

 

Take notes on the main scientific points of each video and comment on the video, ie: was the information presented clearly with no jargon, did they understand the information? Do they think that the information has been peer reviewed? Are the sources sited? What surprised you? What did you already know? - they should take notes. Paper can be “scrap” paper, single sided. 

 

  1. For this section use the laptops (I have them booked) Next go to the solutions library on this website: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions 

 

Have them work individually or in teams of two or three and explore this website. They should send (or share) a word document with me explaining: 

  1. How is the table organized? How can the columns be re-arranged?  

  1. What are 3 solutions you find interesting that you think could be implemented on a local Revelstoke level? Give your own explanation about each solution, explain why they make sense on a local level to implement them.  

  1. What are three other solutions that you find interesting- these could only be implemented on a federal level, or globally. Give your own explanation of each solution. Explain what you think Canada would have to do to implement them.

 Today we started off with the Climate Change Unit by looking at changes in Earth's Climate over time.  We did part of  THIS notes sheet with THIS power point.  

Next we looked at an estimate of our own carbon emissions using the climate hero calculator found HERE.  

and then did a short group activity calculating the carbon emissions savings by two school district employees.  Finally we looked at the project drawdown found HERE.  in order to choose several solutions that we wanted to explore on the local, provincial, federal or international level.

Biology 11 (Life Science 11)

Today we finished off the invertebrates by looking at the Arthropod phylum and the Echinoderm Phylum.  Next we got a practice exam found HERE.  Answer key is HERE.   

Biology 12 (Anatomy and Physiology 12)

 Today we finished off our mini research project by summarizing our three articles and explaining how each article passed the CRAAP test.  Next we got a nervous system review and another EXAM REVIEW.

Answer key is HERE for nervous system 

HERE for the EXAM review

and finally HERE for the previously handed out review (multiple choice part).

Biology 12 (Anatomy and Physiology 12)

Today we finished off the brain section of the Nervous System notes.  Power point is found HERE.  Next we dissected a brain!!  Finally we worked on our mini research project found HERE.  Make sure you print off three papers on a chosen topic.

Biology 11 (Life Sciences 11)

Today we wrote the PLANT UNIT QUEST.  Next we took some notes on animals and completed THESE questions using our text book:  (page 116-120)

Biology 11 (Life Sciences 11)

 Today we started taking notes on Kingdom Animalia.  The first few pages of THIS power point.   Reminder that your PLANT QUEST is coming up on Tuesday.
