There is a group project that must be completed as part of this course.

How many exams will be given during the semester (NOT counting the final exam)?

This course is laid out on a monthly schedule. This means that you will have one month to complete all of the assignments in each of the 4 units of this course.

What are the two stages of counting? Please use complete sentences for full credit. 

You will need to use the activities that you collected for your Math & Science Portfolio to complete this question.  Choose an activity plan. You will use one activity plan per question.  Enter the following information:  Concept Taught Name of Activity Provide a brief description of the activity.  Indicate if the activity is naturalistic, informal or structured. 

Which PROC FREQ step produced this two-way table? 

Which of the following best describes the process of eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems? 

Use Figure 19-3. Ignoring CO2 emissions caused by fossil fuel use, which would be the best practice to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gases?  

FRQ: Please complete all sections. Keep your answers distinctly separate by paragraph and complete each response in full sentences. (8 pts) Biogeochemical cycles describe the movement of certain elements (typically bound with other elements in compounds) through Earth’s atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. These elements and their compounds are necessary components of all life, and because they cycle, they can be used repeatedly by new generations of organisms. Each biogeochemical cycle has different pathways with various reservoirs (sources and sinks) where elements may reside for days or millions of years. (a) The atmosphere is one important carbon reservoir.     (i) Describe a biological process by which carbon is removed from the atmosphere and converted to organic molecules.     (ii) Describe a biological process by which carbon is converted from organic molecules to a gas and returned to the atmosphere.  (b) Oceans and terrestrial systems are also important carbon reservoirs.     (i) Explain how atmospheric carbon is incorporated into an oceanic sink.     (ii) Identify one terrestrial sink, other than fossil fuels, that stores carbon for thousands to millions of years.  (c) Describe a human activity that increases the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere.  (d) Identify and describe an environmental problem that results from elevated atmospheric carbon concentrations.

Match each Stage of Demographic Transition to the correct description.
