The theme this week is environment / ecology / the interactions between living and non-living systems.
Option 1: Go to this e-book, The Interdependence of Life, and read the first chapter, also called Science Object 1: Organisms and their Environment. Then complete the quiz at the end of the chapter. (You will notice some questions on exponential growth--does that sound familiar?)
- Organisms and their Environment
- If possible, read more chapters (and check your understanding with each end-of-chapter quiz).
Option 2: Watch these 4 to 5 short clips from the Ken Burns documentary, The Dust Bowl. Write down your observations and questions on what created and contributed to this decade-long ecological disaster.
Option 3: Read these online articles from BBC Bitesize and test your understanding with their companion quizzes:
Option 4: Read this article posted by the UN, and write down your observations and questions on what this article is saying. Do you agree with it?
