INTRODUCTION

We are learning to analyze the impact of human activities on the environment by successfully completing a digital breakout room activity.

Success Criteria:

  • Identify key human activities that contribute to environmental degradation, such as deforestation, pollution, and overconsumption.
  • Evaluate the specific consequences of human actions on ecosystems, including biodiversity loss, climate change, and habitat destruction.
  • Apply critical thinking skills to evaluate sustainable solutions that address the environmental challenges caused by human activities.
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of the interconnections between human activities, the environment, and social and economic systems.

QUIZ

Complete the following quiz, and getthe first number towards your reward!

start

QUIZ

question 1/5

Humans add chemical fertilizers to farms to make the plants grow better. If too much is used, this can cause...

Plants that are so big they take over the world

People to have to pay extremely high prices for food

Nutrient runoff and excess algae growth

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation: When the correct amount of fertilizer isn't used and it runsoff into waterways, dead zones can form off the coast. This changes the food web and interupts the natural balance of the ecosystem.

QUIZ

question 2/5

Which of these is NOT a negative environmental affect of deforestation?

Losing species biodiversity in forests

Increasing the amount of CO2 in the air

Allowing for more homes and farms

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:Trees are cut down to allow people to develop the land for farms or other uses. This benefit for some peole causes many negatives to the environment, including: increased soil erosion and flooding, increased greenhouse gases, decreased biodiversity. In addition, it can disrupt and displace indigenous communities.

QUIZ

QUESTION 3/5

One effective way to slow Climate Change is...

to significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we are putting into the atmosphere

not worry about it - it will slow on its own

to recycle all of our plastic

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation: Although we can do a lot of things, like planting trees and eating less meat, climate change will only slow when we reduce greenhouse gases SIGNIFICANTLY

QUIZ

QUESTION 4/5

People in which professions have the ability to make a significant positive impact on our environment

  • Scientists
  • Engineers
  • Lawmakers
  • Corporate decision makers
  • Non-profit workers
  • Anyone willing to work for it!

Only scientists

Only lawmakers

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation: If you want to make a difference, you can!

QUIZ

QUESTION 5/5

In Colorado, what are two potential consequences of climate change?

More powerful hurricanesFlooding

Sea level riseMelting sea ice

DroughtWildfires

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:Although we might see other negative consequences, it is likely we will experience droughts and wildfires because of increased heat on our planet

From among all the statements you discover,click only on the correct ones

START

CLICK ONLY ON THE CORRECT STATEMENT 1/3

Humans wanted to cause climate change, so that's why we burned fossil fuels

You can drag the light to search through the darkness

Global warming is happening because humans are burning a very large amount of fossil fuels

There are no solutions to global warming

Global warming only affects some people

CLICK ONLY ON THE CORRECT STATEMENT 2/3

Humans only use non-renewable resources like fossil fuels

Increasing human populations can put strain our natural resources

You can drag the light to search through the darkness

There are no technologies that humans can use to reduce our use of natural resources.

RIGHT!

Human populations haven't changed that much over the past 200 years

Humans don't really use many natural resources.

CLICK ONLY ON THE CORRECT STATEMENT 3/3

The greenhouse effect is terrible

New technologies are developed yearly to help solve climate change problems

You can drag the light to search through the darkness

RIGHT!

We have to use fossil fuels

We can't do anything about climate change

There is only one solution to climate change

CLICK ONLY ON THE CORRECT STATEMENT 3/3

Humans use about as much plastic now as they did in the 1940s

About 8 million tons of plastics end up in the world's oceans every year

You can drag the light to search through the darkness

RIGHT!

Because plastic is biodegradeable, we just need to allow it to break down on its own

Single-use plastics are the only type of plastics that don't cause harm to our environment

It is much better to recycle than to reuse, reduce, or refuse

ERROR!

Wrong! That statement is incorrect
