Unit D: Investigating Matter and Energy in the Environment (Social and Environmental Emphasis)
Overview: Energy from the Sun sustains living systems and maintains equilibrium in the biosphere. In the biosphere, matter is recycled along natural pathways. However, the increasing human population, human activity, and increasing human use of energy and reliance on manufactured materials are having an impact on the movement of matter and energy in the biosphere. This raises global concerns about sustainability. Focusing Questions: How is human activity influencing the natural flow of matter and energy in the biosphere? Should humans as a species be concerned about the effects of their activities on other species and the environment? Key ConceptsThe following concepts are developed in this unit and may also be addressed in other units at other grade/course levels. The intended level and scope of treatment is defined by the outcomes below.
