TASK 2: How are our ecological footprints affecting Earth?
TASK 2: How are our ecological footprints affecting Earth?
Part of living a sustainable life, is knowing and reducing your ecological footprint.
Your ecological footprint is the amount of nature that is needed to support your lifestyle.
Look at the infographic below (obtained from BBC). I have created a Loom Video to help you read the infographic, if you need :).
What do you notice about it?
What kind of countries have the largest ecological footprint?
Now calculate your own ecological footprint.
I have created a Loom Video to help you go through the questions.
After you finish, complete this Form with your answers:
Conduct research to help you answer the questions in the document below.
Remember to look for credible sources. These include sites that end in .edu, .gov, or .org. You can use Wikipedia to help you find good resources, but it should not be your final source :)
Checkpoint 2:
Checkpoint 2:
For this checkpoint, you will be submitting a document to Slate.
In the document, you will need to include the following:
Data from your ecological footprint.
Data about the ecological footprints of three countries around the world.
A discussion about the pattern you notice in the data. Use the questions after the chart as well as the graphs you created to help you with this. It might be helpful to include your graphs in your submission as reference during your analysis and explanation.
What variables were connected to ecological footprint?
How strong were the relationships between these variables?
This checkpoint will help you pre-assess your ability to do SC.2.1 and 2.2 competencies (Analyze and Interpret Data). It will also be an opportunity for me to give you feedback that will help you on the laboratory experience (the assessment for these competencies).
