This document can be used as a quiz, as a homework assignment or as test review. The document contains 17 questions. There are 9 fill in the blank questions and 8 short answer questions. Answer key is provided.
This quiz is appropriate for biology or life science students in grades 7 - 12. I use this quiz as a quick and easy check for understanding and to make sure that my students are keeping up with their nightly studying.
Topics covered in this review are:
1. Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources
2. Land resources: The importance of land, land as a renewable resource, composition of soil, human impact on soil, erosion, desertification, good land management.
3. Forest resources: The importance of forests as a producer of human good and services, the ecological role of the forests, renewable forests, nonrenewable forests, old growth forests, deforestation, good management of forests.
4. Fishery resources: The importance of fisheries to humans and to the environment, overfishing, fisheries as a renewable resource, aquaculture.
5. Air resources: Air quality, smog, the pollutants in smog, the burning of fossil fuels, acid rain.
6. Freshwater resources: Water use by humans, how pollutants enter the water supply, the role of nature in the cleaning and purifying of water.
7. The Human Influence on the Biosphere: Ozone depletion, rising levels of carbon dioxide, population growth.
8. Ozone Depletion: Definition of ozone, importance of ozone in our atmosphere, the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, how humans are causing the destruction of the ozone, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), global regulations of CFC's.
9. Increasing Levels of Carbon Dioxide: The role of carbon in the carbon cycle, the addition of too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, the danger of rising carbon dioxide levels, global warming, greenhouse effect.
10. Human Population Growth: Estimation of future population size and the effect this will have on our planet.
11. Biodiversity: Definition of biodiversity, how biodiversity is measured, the importance of biodiversity, ways biodiversity is lost, extinction, the threat of pollution to biodiversity, the use of DDT in the environment, biological magnification, the threat of invasive species.
The download will include both a Word document as well as a pdf form of the quiz.

Would it be possible to bundle the ecology and environmental materials. Our biology teacher absolutely LOVES your materials. We are attempting to teach a freshman environmental science class without a textbook and your units look like they may save us a lot of time as we are currently putting everything together from scratch - - - lecture materials, activities, labs etc.

Thank you for your interest in my products. I am very pleased that you are pleased! :)
Some of my ecology materials are bundled and some are not. This is a "work in progress" for me, also. I currently have three ecology units that are bundled. They are:
Introduction to Ecology Complete Unit Bundle: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Introduction-to-Ecology-Complete-Unit-Teaching-Bundle
Population Ecology Complete Unit Bundle: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Population-Ecology-Complete-Unit-Teaching-Bundle
Community Ecology Complete Unit Bundle: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Community-Ecology-Complete-Unit-Plan-Teaching-Bundle
I do have plans for three more ecology units: 1. Energy Flow Through the Ecosystem/Recycling of Chemical Elements, 2. Biomes of the World, and 3. Humans and the Environment. Unfortunately, I am a full time teacher and have limited time to upload new products. For these last three topics, I already have PowerPoints, notes, quizzes and review materials listed. But they are not bundled into complete units at this time.
A complete list of all of my ecology materials can be found at this link: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/My-Products/Digital-Products/7251.
Please feel free to email me (Amy1007@aol.com) if I can be of further assistance.
