We have spent the last few lessons learning about carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, and how the molecules move from organic and inorganic matter. Now it's your turn to show off what you have learned. 1. Complete this online quiz. 2. Work with your partner to complete this assignment. Choose one of the following questions:
a. Explain how the large-scale clearing and burning of forests could change the levels of both oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. b. Research the process of eutrophication and describe how at least two human activities contribute to this process. c. A common agriculture practice currently is to use fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Research the effect that this has on the ecosystem and suggest an alternative method of fertilizing. d. Research the effects of excess phosphorus runoff into aquatic ecosystems, such as freshwater lakes. Include information on steps that researchers and farmers are taking to try and reduce phosphorus runoff.
Create an online presentation to answer one of the above questions. Your presentation can include videos, audio, images and text. You can also create your own video using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. You can use one of the following applications to create your presentation. If you want to use an application that is not listed here, please ask me. BE CREATIVE!
You must include a bibliography at the end of your presentation.
