Checks for Understanding 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | 2.4
Science Curriculum Standards 3216 - Biology II	Internet Resources
Analyze the ecological impact of a change in climate, human activity, introduction of non-native species, and changes in population size over time. 2.1	Biological consequences of global warming: - article Climate Change Information Kit - Article by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which engages hundreds of the world’s leading experts in reviewing the most up-to-date, peer-reviewed literature on the scientific and technical aspects of climate change Global Warming from the U. S. EPA Infrared Map of the Earth - Greenhouse Effect Paleo Perspective on Global Warming Warnings from the Ice - from NOVA
Investigate how fluctuations in population size in an ecosystem are determined by the relative rates of birth, death, immigration, and emigration. 2.2	Population Country Ranks - find rankings for a variety of demographic concepts Population Density Animated Map - human population growth through history Continental Population Density Maps, 1995: (click on thumbnail image for full size maps) Population density - (persons per sq km) - A listing of locations ranked from greatest density to least density Population Density on a World Map - This data set shows the number of people per square kilometer around the world in 1994. Summary Demographic Data - This page allows you to obtain summary demographic data and population pyramids for one country. Where People Live on Planet Earth - a color-coded map produced from populations estimates made for 1994. (click the map for a larger version) Population Growth Rate Human Population: 2006 Data Sheet - a thirteen-page document Population growth rate - a list of countries ordered from the highest growth rate to the lowest Population growth rate (All Descending) - a more detailed listing of the growth rates Population Growth Rate - a learning module from the World Bank Group Population Growth Rate Teaching Activities (with answers) - a learning module from the World Bank Group
Investigate how human changes to the environment have led populations to adapt, migrate, or become extinct. 2.3	Biological consequences of global warming: - article Climate Change Information Kit - Article by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which engages hundreds of the world’s leading experts in reviewing the most up-to-date, peer-reviewed literature on the scientific and technical aspects of climate change Global Warming from the U. S. EPA Infrared Map of the Earth - Greenhouse Effect Paleo Perspective on Global Warming Warnings from the Ice - from NOVA
Contrast accommodations of individual organisms with the adaptation of a species. 2.4
