DBQ- Have Humans Reached Their Carrying Capacity- An Analysis
This is a DBQ (document-based question) project that allows students to examine a series of sources to determine if humans, a unique biological population, has reached its carrying capacity. This can be used in biology, environmental science, or any other science course where data and document analysis are integral. This is editable so you can add and change as many documents as you need to in order to support the needs of your students.
Science Literacy: Has Earth Reached its Carrying Capacity?
Students often fail to make the connection between the science they learn in the classroom, and how it is be applied in the real world. This "Article of the Week" series follows Dave Stuarts's format and is designed to bridge that gap using real articles from reliable sources.The assignment asks students to perform a close reading, annotations, and to use evidence from the article to support a claim.
