Ecological Footprint
This is the measure of your human impact on the planet.
What is an ecological footprint?
This is sometimes referred to as an "if-then statement".
What is a hypothesis?
This sphere of the Earth is where all forms of life exist.
What is the biosphere?
What is a line graph?
Before writing an experiment you should do this first.
What is make observations?
Thinking about your long term needs over your short term needs.
What is sustainability?
This is the number of independent variables you should change at once.
What is one?
This gas mostly makes up the atmosphere.
What is nitrogen gas?
This type of graph compares independent variables?
What is a bar graph?
If you do not get the results you want from an experiment, you should do one of these things next.
What is a commons?
These parts of your experiment should remain the same.
What are constants?
What is a closed system?
The x-axis (on the bottom of a line graph) is labeled with this variable.
What is a independent variable?
Data that does match the trends are called this.
What is an outlier?
What is a tragedy of the commons?
This part of your experiment relies on another variable in your experiment.
What is a dependent variable?
This sphere of the Earth contains all of the water on Earth.
What is the hydrosphere?
The top of your graph should have this.
This process brought oxygen into Earth's atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
Provide two examples of what could be done to lower your ecological footprint.
Options include:
- Eating less meat.
- Carpooling.
- Walking/riding your bike instead of driving.
- Using solar or other renewable forms of energy.
- Turning of your electronics/lights when you are not in the room.
- Shopping second hand/recycling materials.
This part of your experiment is used as a point of comparison.
What is a control?
While required for their to be life on Earth, this gas is only the second most abundant in the atmosphere.
What is oxygen?
You should always include this when you have numbers on a graph.
What are units?
We are all made of this.
What is matter?
