Honors Biology white sheet boxes

If you are looking to improve your grade- copy 8 boxes and keep practicing your white sheet.
Copy it as many times as you can! 10 points a page!
DON'T rush and copy things incorrectly- you won't get credit

If you are able to re-write your white sheet prior to the EOC it will replace ANY of your Zeros with a 100 - assuming it is correct :)

Here is a link to the boxes, it's in a google file, you don't need to download the app to view them :)
(there are 9 boxes- alternate the one you leave off each time)

You can listen to the segments posted here or go to the LOE podcast app and click on the dates for the episodes-  The Fracking segment is the first segment from July 19th and the segments from July 26th are also the first two segments so you won't have to go searching for them.


From the July 19, 2019 Living on Earth- https://www.loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=19-P13-00029

Fracking and Your Health

(stream / mp3)

Fracking forces water, sand and chemicals into shale rock at high pressures, extracting much more oil and gas than conventional wells. But this highly efficient method comes with environmental and health risks including birth defects, cancer, and asthma. A new meta study brings together the findings of more than 1700 studies, articles and reports on the health impacts of fracking. Coauthor Sandra Steingraber, a professor of Environmental Studies and Sciences at Ithaca College, joins Host Bobby Bascomb to discuss the importance of this massive body of evidence. (09:26)

 The next two segments are From  the July 26, 2019 Living on Earth  https://www.loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=19-P13-00030

SEGMENTS

Miners Pollute the Sea of Cortez

(stream / mp3)

On July 9, 2019, a facility operated by mining company Grupo Mexico spilled thousands of liters of sulfuric acid into the Sea of Cortez. It’s not the first time the company has come under fire for spilling toxic chemicals into the environment: in 2014, 11 million gallons of copper sulfate and heavy minerals spilled from a copper mine it operates in Sonora, contaminating major rivers and creating a local environmental disaster. Kendal Blust, a correspondent for public radio station KJZZ, discusses public outcry over the spill with Host Bobby Bascomb. (07:48)

Beyond the Headlines / Peter Dykstra

(stream / mp3)

In this week’s trip beyond the headlines, Peter Dykstra joins Host Bobby Bascomb to discuss a eulogy for a glacier in Iceland that was lost due to climate change. Next, they turn to the future, or lack thereof, of plastics recycling in the United States. Finally, with a look into the history vaults, the two examine the history of Japan’s controversial whaling for “scientific research”. (04:52)
