What can be done about this problem? Support your response with information from the lesson. Water is in short supply because the world's population is increasing and the demand for fresh water is always increasing. More and more people use fresh water for drinking, bathing, growing crops, and keeping livestock.Pollution and sewage can dirty the fresh water supply, making the water unsafe to drink and putting people at risk for disease.One possible solution to the problem is desalination. This process removes the salt from ocean water.Desalination plants require a lot of energy to run, and they also produce great amounts of salt. Collecting and purifying rainwater is another solution to help with the fresh water shortage.Experts are also asking people all around the world to conserve water. Using less water is one way to ensure that Earth will continue to flourish.SummaryReport to class(5-10) orallyHW #0413Student’s Name: _____________ Date: ____________ Teacher: Ms. Zhang-ShiAim: How can we solve the problem of water shortage?Do now: Figure out the meaning of the voc. via context clues._____1.

Water could mean life.Differences: Kepler-452b is 60 percent larger in diameter than Earth.Kepler-452b is about 6 billion years old, or 1.5 billion years older than Earth.Kepler-452b's star is believed to be older, bigger, and brighter than Earth's sun.Kepler-452b is in a solar system that is 1,400 light-years from Earth. It is in the constellation Cygnus.Kepler-452b is believed to have a mass five times greater than Earth's and twice as much gravity. Its atmosphere is likely thicker and has more clouds than Earth.Why scientists are excited about the discovery of Kepler-452b: Of all the planets found so far, Kepler-452b is the most like Earth.

Why was it important to solve this problem, and how was it solved? Support your response with details from the lesson. Problem: Elephants in Kenya have been stealing crops from farms located near a wildlife sanctuary. Even though villagers worked hard to scare away the elephants, several had to be killed.Since the elephants, the villagers, and their crops all needed to be protected, it was important to find a way to solve the problem.Solution: The elephants were fitted with the collars, which employ advanced technology to track their travels. Each collar contains global positioning system?(GPS) technology. The GPS receivers on the collars send signals into space that are picked up by satellites. Then, using Google Earth mapping software, researchers view satellite images of Earth. These images pinpoint the location of each GPS collar and allow officials to intercept wandering elephants before they can reach the villagers' crops.

Use facts and examples from both texts to support your response. Since Roosevelt did not believe people should stop using natural resources altogether, he may have supported fracking. Even though he was in favor of conservation, Roosevelt believed that natural resources existed to benefit humans, so he may have felt that fracking could be an efficient way to meet the energy needs of our country. Also, Roosevelt may have supported fracking if he had wanted the country to reduce its dependency on other countries to meet its growing energy needs.Roosevelt may have opposed fracking:Since Roosevelt was a pioneer in raising awareness of the fact that natural resources are finite, he may have been opposed to fracking. He might have been ahead of his time—as he was during his presidency—and reached out to the public to find other ways to meet the nation's energy needs. Roosevelt was also a keen observer of the environment, so he may have noticed how the nation was using energy. He might have considered that fracking creates serious environmental and health risks and encouraged the country to pursue alternative sources of clean and renewable energySummaryReport to class(5-10) orallyHW #0322Student’s Name: _____________ Date: ____________ Teacher: Ms. Zhang-ShiAim: What would Teddy say about fracking?Do now: What do you know about President Roosevelt?

Then, in your own words, write an explanation of the events that took place. Use information from your reading to complete your response. Some greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, help create "a greenhouse effect" on Earth.Most of the solar energy that reaches Earth is absorbed and released back into the atmosphere as heat. Greenhouse gases absorb and trap some of the energy that would otherwise bounce back into space. This "greenhouse effect" helps keep Earth warm enough for living things to thrive because it allows the atmosphere to retain heat.?Without any greenhouse gases, Earth would be freezing.Certain human activities produce additional levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, which have increased the greenhouse effect, causing the temperature of Earth's surface to rise.One effect of this is melting Arctic ice.Less ice is freeing up new sea routes.It's also revealing untapped mineral resources on the ocean bottom.Because of the ice melt, the explorers could not reach the North Pole safely, so they decided to end their expedition early.Student’s name: __________________ Date: ___________ Mrs. Zhang-ShiAim: What caused some British explorers to end their expedition early?Do now: Answer the following questions in complete sentences.What is global warming? ___________________________________________What would be some of the effects of global warming? ________________________________________________________________________Activity One: Match the voc. with their synonyms or definitions.____1. permanent a. a. something that stirs the whole movement____2. expedition n. b. dangerous____3. emission n. c. finally, eventually____4. density n. d. what is released in the air____5. ultimately adv. e. the level of concentration____6.

They appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.The streaks were spotted by a high-resolution, telescopic camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Another instrument onboard the orbiter detected the chemical signature of salt compounds combined with water.Since salt prevents water from freezing at extremely low temperatures, this could explain how water could exist in liquid form—and be able to flow—on Mars, which is very cold, even during its warmer months.The source of the water remains a mystery.

What details did you find in the texts that help support each central idea? Support your response with information from the lesson. An international team of scientists believes it has located the long-lost skeleton of Princess Eadgyth—a nobleperson who lived during the 10th century. Scientists found a coffin bearing her name inside a cathedral in Germany. Inside the coffin was a skeleton. Tests are being performed to determine the age of the bones. One of the tests measures isotopes inside a tooth to determine where the person grew up. Scientists hope to know within six months if the bones are those of the princess. ?Princess Eadgyth has been compared to Princess Diana of 20th-century England. Like England's Princess Diana, Eadgyth dazzled the public with her charm and charity, and she was very popular. "She was a very, very popular person," said Horton. "She was sort of the Diana of her day if you like—pretty and full of good works."Some experts had doubts as to whether the remains truly belonged to the late princess. Historians believe Eadgyth's body was relocated several times—a common practice for royalty. Therefore, it is possible that the bones were misplaced and swapped with someone else's during one of the moves.Student’s name: __________________ Date: ___________ Mrs. Zhang-ShiAim: What is the author’s purpose of telling us the news story about the English princess found?Do now: Answer the questions in complete sentences.Who was Princess Diana and what do you know about her?___________________________________________________Activity One.

Support your response with information from the readings. The bubonic plague, also known as the "Black Death," was an epidemic that spread throughout Europe during the 1330s, killing millions of people. (1. What is the Black Death and how it affected the people there?)Doctors at the time had no idea what caused the disease or how to treat it. Their attempted treatments were ineffective, and as alarming numbers of people died, the healthy fled their villages or isolated themselves—even from family members—for fear of getting sick. Funerals became rare because there were so many bodies to bury. (2. How did the doctors and people deal with this disease?)People began to question their religion, since so many people, including clergy members, were suffering. (3. What did people begin to question?)The Black Death also affected the European economy. The plague upset the feudal system. As the death toll rose (Europe lost about one-third of its population), there became a shortage of workers, and therefore, more opportunities for serfs. Historians believe that the plague was one of the factors that brought about the end of serfdom. (4.

Why or why not? (W 10)ProcedureMotivation: Let students know the South Carolina’s law and it was rejected by the federal lawSome lawmakers in South Carolina believe that requiring voters to show photo ID in order to vote prevents voter fraud. They believe that the requirement stops people from voting twice or pretending to be a different person at the polls.The U.S. Justice Department feels the law discriminates against some minorities in South Carolina who might not be able to cast ballots because they don't have the right type of photo ID.Opponents believe the law was put in place to prevent certain groups of people from voting and that it discriminates against minorities.Those in favor of the law say there are provisions in the law that allow any voter to obtain a free photo ID.In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which determined the voting jurisdictions that were to be controlled by the federal government. This means that the South Carolina law can be passed without permission from the Justice Department II..
