    Sunday packet 4.7.13

    Team,
    I have an idea: let's break into teams to cover the laws:
    air team: climate change, pollution, etc.
    water team: resource management, pollution, groundwater contamination, tracking
    land team: mining, property resources, parks, public lands
    biomes team: endangered species, fishing rights
    energy team: energy use, CAFE standards, oil leases
    Let me know if I've forgotten anything, and think of which team you'd like to be, and with whom...
    For Sunday:
    Chapters 1-3 in Our choice (see below) and these two Free Response questions:
    http://physics.hpa.edu/physics/apenvsci/apes_exam_prep/AP%20central%20stuff/AP%20central%20FR%20questions/ap05_sg_envir_sci.pdf
    Questions 1 and 2 only.

    Let me know how I can help.

    ADDENDA---FOR NEXT WEEK ONLY:

    Our choice-ch4 Wind energy


    1. Why are wind turbines so big, while ocean or river (hydroelectric) turbines are much smaller?

    2. What are the top 5 wind nations now, and in the future?

    3. What country gets the greatest percentage of its electricity from wind today?

    4. The elab turbine is a trailing wind design. How does this differ from the large ones in the book?

    5. How dangerous are wind turbines compared to cats? Explain why this discussion persists.

    6. How could the modular design of turbines be a lesson for the nuclear industry?

    7. Discuss the good and bad points of ocean based wind turbines

    8. Compare the Carter experience with solar panels with that of wind

    9. How would our grid have to change to truly utilize wind power?

    10. Under what assumptions was our present grid designed? What has changed?
