Using Nonrenewable Resources And Its Effects On The Environment

They also learned how to dissect what the questions want you to answer and how to provide evidence to their answers. As a result of creating the artifact, I learned that it is important to be fully prepared with the lesson going to be taught. I learned that my students have difficulty identifying what information is important and which is not. I utilized graphic organizers in order for them to distinguish between the two. As for what I learned as a result of implementing the artifact is that the activities were good and strategies were well implemented which benefited the students in organizing their thoughts. Pertaining to the artifact, what I would change in order to improve the artifact is to praise the students with specific praise instead of simply stating good job and to redirect the student by asking questions on the topic at

I found a great lesson to work off of for my lesson plan on history of the Homestead Act. The original lesson was well organized but very short. I chose to focus on Domain 2 Conceptual Understandings because this lesson plan only had one assessment and I felt that the assessment was weak in whether a teacher could gage students understanding of the material. This lesson did a below average job of explaining what the Homestead Act is through its powerpoint slideshow and worksheet activities. I also didn 't like how the lesson plan was designed to show a video clip of the Western Expansion at the very end of the lecture. I feel that by showing this video is pointless and students might lose interest by the end of the lesson.

On my EdPuzzle video, I discussed the planets in our Solar System. For example, in a lesson, I would talk about the basics such as, what is a solar system and what planets are in it. Student’s homework, for example, would be going home and watching a video I created for the next day. Like what many teachers do today is try to motivate their students by reading the new topic, or additional information for the next day which is beneficial. Students can come into class with the info of what they will be learning today and have questions on hand. With videos, this is more helpful and can be fun. Instead of reading, which young students don’t like to do nowadays, they can be motivated by watching videos teachers create. To continue about my class,

Once information was gathered students had to choose which presentation tool they wished to use to present their findings such as powerpoint, prezi or hard copy. Student use this technology to bring media and information together to produce a powerful resource for learning and evaluating.

The advice I can give to instructors is to save one of the videos presented in our class and show it to the next group of students as an example. It's always nice to see a sample and get some inspirational ideas, when you are being introduced to the new project. I believe that it would benefit the next cohort of students

What do we know about our energy sources and how our energy choices affect the environment? Many people still do not put much though into this topic or pay any attention to the amount of energy they use or where it comes from. For some it is just willful negligence, but for many others it may be due to a lack of knowledge on the subject. Perhaps it is a good idea to pay closer attention and educate ourselves so we can make informed decisions that may lead to less stress on our wallets and on our environment. In order to make a change, we should observe our currently used energy sources in everyday life, the impact of increasing energy uses, and observe all of the alternative options available to us.

In regards to creating the video for each lesson members of the team have been researching several examples that young students can relate too. At this point in our research we are still determining a particular theme for all of the videos. The Penn State Altoona team is still deciding how students will receive digital badges throughout the work book as well. In addition, we have been working on the database design for this mobile application. We are in the process of completing a detailed data model. This model will help us understand the logical and physical design choices in order to help us in the creation of the

These are just a few examples of how the extraction process of certain nonrenewable resources can impact the environment. However, this negative impact does not stop there. The factories and refineries involved in the production stage emit an astounding amount of pollution. They are one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases. However, these pollutants are also able to dissolve in lakes, rivers, oceans, and even in rain. Once in our water system, they are then able to propagate throughout the food chain, eventually working their way back to humans (Leonard & Conrad , 2010).

Nowadays people live to earn money, whereas it used to be that people earned money to live. Modern world creates a frame of how one should live and outlines the direction in which one should develop. Industrial and technological progress keep growing exponentially. They not only bring convenience and benefits to humans’ lives, but also develop the negative effects not that many people are ready to deal with. Many environmental scientists state that burning non-renewable resources has become a primarily reason for climate change; which demonstrates how great is the pollution all over the modern world. According to the researchers from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, about 3 million of people die from air pollution each year in China (Hinckley). Water pollution has lead to the contamination of water by heavy metals; which can lead to cancer, untreatable brain damage, and much more severe health problems. Moreover, drinking such water or eating seafood that inhabits such waters can be dangerous to one’s life. As a person, who lives in California, I can see the changes in the life style caused by the massive drought. I have noticed that a lot of plants and animals have become endangered due to the water shortage. In addition, disappearance of the water can lead to a world-of-desert, in which people are fight brutally for the water. Neither I want to live in such world, nor I wish my descendants to ever experience it. All kinds of pollution impose a great

The term, “non-renewable energy,” is at its most basic form, means that the sources of energy will eventually one day run out and not replenish itself. Non-renewable energy comes in many forms. For example: coal, crude oil and natural gas. These sources are categorized as fossil fuels, meaning that they were formed in the past due to natural processes from dead organisms. Non-renewable energy has been proven to be very beneficial to the US, however, many people argue the negatives are not worth the benefits.

As we all know the energy we use form fossil fuel is nonrenewable, and it damages our environment badly. The most energy is used in the industrials (31%), the second is used in transportation (28%), the third is used in residential (22%), and the last is used in commercial (19%). We also know that the more we use fossil fuel, the more greenhouse gas effect to our earth and killing our atmosphere by trap the gases and it make our earth getting warmer and warmer. In this paper will go deep more into the second big use energy which is transportation and how they are going to use the new energy to keep the environment cleaner. However, our world has created a lot of renewable energy such as energy from solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, and nuclear. In fact, the new Bioenergy, which uses household garbage, including food waste, for its fuel could be a great idea to save our natural energies, also less emission on the greenhouse effect, save money instead of wasting it.

Renewable resources are also known as alternative energy sources. Alternative Energy is any source of energy that can be renewed (Issit). Renewable Energies include hydrogen fuel, biomass fuel, hydropower, solar power, geothermic energy, and nuclear power. Hydrogen fuel is an amalgamation of hydrogen and oxygen which is used to produce electricity (Issit). Biomass fuel is made from materials which have already been used, such as compost, and can be used to generate electricity (Issit). Hydropower can be created through moving water or wind to generate electricity (Issit). Using sunlight to produce electricity is called solar power (Issit). Geothermic energy is energy made by the heat under the earth’s mantle (Issit). Nuclear power is

As the world and our nation tries to a find alternative sources of energy, which reduce harmful emissions, the amount of energy being consumed continues to rise. At present, and near future, oil and natural gas remain the most viable energy solution. As a result the future supply of energy, and the extension, the preservation of the environment relies on Petroleum Engineers. This makes petroleum engineering one of the most exciting fields and is a major reason why I have decided to focus on a degree with that in mind.

In a classroom setting, lectures and discussion are the primary learning resources. Although media is accessible during non-class hours, to have multimedia content as a learning tool, while students develop ideas and concepts, lends itself to a more customized learning experience.
