The one you make for the test will probably be a lot more densely packed than this one but his set-up was spot on! If you do a great job on one it could earn you extra credit on your test!
Here's a topic list of what you may be tested on:
Agriculture-anything from the power point- especially the soil horizons and sustainable agriculture methods
SOIL lab- anything you should have learned from the labs we did
Irrigation- info from the ppt as well as the video clip
Weather-convection, Hadley cells, el nino and la nina and wind patterns
A basic math problem- if you can't remember how to do long division or how to work with decimals wihen multiplying or how to put something in scientific notation then you should write out a sample problem on your mind map.
tectonic plate movement and volcanoes.
"A Fierce Green Fire"- love canal, environmental racism, creation of the EPA, etc
THE DEAD ZONE- Believe it or not everything you learned about soil, agriculture and irrigation play a role in the formation of the dead zone- It's a prime example of the interconnected nature of all systems and how complicated it can be to manage the biosphere!
