Inspire Science Unit 3 Lesson 2 Science Probe Encounter the Phenomenon Lesson

so before you go further in the lesson please make sure that you finish the science probe that's going to find to you in your inspired dashboard and then you can move forward encounter the phenomenon human impact on water resources however humans involved in this photo review the photo and answer your question by clicking the link on the hyper doc that connects you to our class padlet for the padlet it is moderator approved so you will not be able to see your answer posted will review it and then it will be added to our class padlet read about it humans affect water lesson to humans affect water people affect the environment every day sometimes these effects are negative and can harm the environment such as pollution pollution is any harmful substance that affects earth's resources the picture to the right shows Lake Tahoe Lake Tahoe is protected to keep the water and land around it safe and clean heavy rains can wash fertilizers used on farms and lay and lawns into lakes rivers and streams these fertilizers can negatively impact water quality and cause toxic kinds of algae to grow this can result in something called algebraic algebra as sometimes harmful increase in the amount of algae found in water oil spills are another cause of water pollution in 2010 the work oil spill in United States history occurred when an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded releasing four point nine million barrels of oil into the Gulf that amount of oil could fill over 300 Olympic sized pool even though some human activities harm natural resources there are many people who work hard to protect them in 1974 the United States government passed the law to help protect our waters the state's drinking water act protects drinking water and Water Resources farmers are now using safer more natural ways of controlling pests and providing nutrients to plant in the picture below the green waters evidence of algebra algebra can be harmful read about conservation conservation earth does not have an unlimited supply of natural resources many resources are being used more quickly than nature can replace them humans can help slow the use of Natural Resources through conservation conservation is the practice of using resources wisely the 3 R's guide people in how to conserve resources they are reduced reuse and recycle in terms of conserving water resources reducing our usage means to use less water this can mean taking shorter showers and turning the water off while we are brushing our teeth reusing water resources means using it for something else or using it more than one rainwater can be collected to be used to water plants recycling water is complicated process that is done at water treatment facilities water that is collected through pipes in homes and offices can be recycled to be used again youth water-conserving shower heads and take shorter showers do not leave water running when you are not using it if you use the dishwasher use water saving model and do not run it unless it is cool fix leaking pipes or faucets use water saving washing machine and wash full loads of clothes lastly growth plants that do not require frequent watering and water your plants after dark so the water does not evaporate
