International Space Station
This space station is shared by several countries for scientific research.
International Space Station
This technology helps people communicate worldwide using signals sent from space.
Satellite
This global network allows billions of people to connect instantly.
Internet
This field of science studies DNA and genes to improve medicine and agriculture.
Biotechnology
This agricultural movement increased food production using modern farming methods.
Green Revolution
The ISS allows astronauts from different nations to work together, showing global cooperation in space exploration. What type of cooperation is this?
International cooperation
Drivers and pilots use this satellite based system to find exact locations around the world.
GPS
Buying and selling products online through the internet is known as what type of commerce?
E-commerce
Scientists use DNA research to create treatments for diseases and inherited conditions. What are inherited conditions also called?
Genetic disorders
New fertilizers, irrigation systems, and improved seeds helped reduce global hunger and what other major problem?
Famine
Scientists on the ISS study how humans are affected by long periods in space with little gravity. What is this condition called?
Microgravity
Weather satellites help track storms, hurricanes, and climate patterns before disasters occur. What type of information are satellites collecting?
Weather data
The internet allows students to attend classes from anywhere in the world. What type of learning is this called?
Virtual Learning
Countries often share biotechnology research to improve healthcare worldwide. Why is this sharing important?
It helps countries develop better medicine and treatments.
The Green Revolution increased crop yields in many developing countries. What does “crop yield” mean?
It improves food production and reduces hunger.
The ISS is an example of globalization because countries share scientific discoveries, costs, and advanced technology instead of competing independently. What process does this describe?
Globalization
Satellite technology helps globalization by improving worldwide communication, transportation, and international trade. Why is fast communication important for globalization?
It allows countries and businesses to connect instantly.
One reason the internet increases globalization is because ideas, cultures, and trends spread rapidly across countries. What does this process increase?
Global connections
Biotechnology can create crops that survive droughts and resist pests. How does this help developing countries?
It improves food production and reduces hunger.
Although the Green Revolution improved food supplies, it also caused environmental issues like polluted water and damaged soil. What caused many of these environmental problems?
Heavy use of chemicals and fertilizers.
Explain why the International Space Station is considered one of the strongest examples of globalization in science and technology.
Countries work together by sharing funding, research, technology, and scientific knowledge for common goals.
Analyze how satellite technology has changed the global economy and communication between countries.
Satellites allow instant communication, global trade, navigation, weather tracking, and sharing information worldwide.
Evaluate one positive and one negative effect the internet has had on globalization.
positive—faster communication and trade
negative—misinformation or cybercrime
Explain how biotechnology demonstrates globalization through international scientific collaboration.
Countries share medical research, genetic discoveries, and agricultural technology to solve global problems together.
Analyze both a benefit and a drawback of the Green Revolution on globalization.o
benefit—increased worldwide food production
drawback—environmental damage and unequal access to technology
