Global footprint mystery sleuthing:
1. How would you group the countries? Language? Economy? Sustainability? History? Religion? Political?
2. What cause and effect incidents can you see on the graphs?
3. Surplus is green, deficit is red, over what time frame? when did/will the lines cross? when did they start?
Events:
Australia-what about the red bumps?
Pakistan-what happened in 1978?
US-what happened in 1973?
NZ-how can fishing areas increase?
Bengaladesh-what causes the bumps?
Brazil-1984, what happened?
S. Korea has two cliffs-why?
When did the UK become in deficit? Why?

Next section overview:
- Frog book chapter 3: systems (3.1 and first part of 3.2 on your iPad)
- FR chapter 2: systems (modules 3,4,5 in the FR text, Goodreader on your iPad)
- Math bits: radioactive decay, pH
Review:
Chapter one was on overview of what Environmental Science is all about, what your greatest challenges will be in this century (good luck), and some bits about the scientific method (and how to find witches).
The iBook coveres these as well, but in a more interactive overview.
Chapter two is all about systems, matter and energy, the subject of other courses as well: physics is all about energy and matter, chemistry is about matter, energy and reactions, and biology includes feedback loops and systems, as well as lots of gooey living stuff.
For this chapter, cause and effect will be your guide-keep these in mind.
Reading: Chapter 2 in FR text, modules 4 and 5. Module 4 is huge, so don't give up.
Why this chapter now? How does it enable us to study other things?
Soils-capillary action
Populations-radioactive decay
Energy-PE/KE, thermodynamics
Global warming-radiation, thermodynamics, feedback
Water-pH, chemistry, colligative properties
Food-fat/CHO/proteins
Sustainability-feedback, thermodynamics
Some of these may be review for you, for others it may be new, so let's take our time...
