Construct and revise a claim based on evidence on the effects of human activities on natural resources. Human Activities: Agriculture, Forestry, Ranching, Mining, Urbanization, Fishing, Water use, Pollution, Desalination, Wastewater treatment ; Natural Resources: Land, Water, Air, Organisms
Construct an argument to evaluate how human population growth affects food demand and food supply (GMOs, monocultures, desertification, Green Revolution).
Design, evaluate, and refine solutions to reduce human impact on the environment including, but not limited to, smog, ozone depletion, urbanization, and ocean acidification.
