WHAT TO DO:
- Read each question carefully. Determine which questions you might like to investigate.
- Choose three questions by copying these down on a sheet of paper. OR create your own questions.
- Based on the questions you’re answering, what type of data will you need to collect tomorrow in class? How will you collect these data? Brainstorm these ideas by writing on the same sheet of paper.
Class-generated Questions:
·
Do you think if humans intervene with the
endangered species, the species could survive? (Probably need to listen to the predictions
and protection plans/laws)
·
What is the most common threat to the endangered
species the class surveyed?
·
Why is that some species have no protection
plans?
·
How many species are predicted to be extinct in
the next 10 years based on our class data? (Think about if they have common causes/reasons)
·
How do most protection plans help the endangered
species?
·
Which taxonomic group is the most endangered?
·
How are the threats similar? Different?
·
Do humans cause more threats or does nature? If
it’s human, why do you think that is?
·
Why is habitat loss the main threat for so many
species?
·
If habitat loss were NOT a threat any more,
would more endangered species survive the next 10 years?
·
Is there a connection between the establishment
of protection plans/laws and the geological location of the endangered species?
If so, what types of connections are there? (i.e. Are there less protection
plans in third-world countries/regions?)
·
Are there more endangered species in developing
countries? If so, why might that be?
·
Which continent has the most endangered species?
Why might that be?
