S1/1415 Final Project
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE (S1 1415)
RECOMMENDED ACTIVITES & PROJECT
1. Compare your family size and resource consumption to that of your friends’ family. Make a table of the class data and generate some statistics (e.g., average family size, average water usage, and average number of household cars). Discuss all aspects of the findings.
2. “Adopt” a country and investigate various aspects of the nation’s physical, population, economic, social, political, and other characteristics as well as lifestyle and life quality. Discussion of research results.
3. Survey five of your friends and your family members to determine their worldview. Pool the class data and create a bar chart. Discuss factors that might affect a person’s worldview, such …show more content…
Survey your friend to obtain age or lifespan information about their grandparents. Compare the results with the average life expectancy in Vietnam in the year 1950. Discuss major implications of these findings.
11. Research the environmental impact of the growing populations of less-developed countries and more-developed countries. For representative more-developed and less-developed countries, find data comparing the impact of children, compare population growth, project the responsibilities for environmental degradation by future human populations and collect data on the birth control policies. Hold a brainstorming session about strategies to control the human population. See if a consensus can be formed about appropriate strategies for limiting environmental damage of human populations.
12. Discuss local agricultural problems and opportunities. What major changes in agricultural practices are likely to occur in the coming decades? With what consequences? What types of farming activities are carried on in your locale? What is the balance between large and small farms? What are the major products? How much of the produce is used in local areas? How much is shipped out and where does it go?
13. Arrange a field trip to investigate organic farming practices. Discussion of the
