The goal is for the class to create a list of possible factors.

Moving forward, the class will explore a variety of different human related factors that affect ecosystems and conclude which or all are affecting the local ecosystems surround Ottawa.

Overall Expectations:

B2. Investigate some factors related to human activity that affect terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems, and describe the consequences that these factors have for the sustainability of these ecosystems.

Specific expectations:

B2.5 analyse the effect of factors related to human activity on terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems by interpreting data and generating graphs (e.g., data on the concentration in water of chemicals from fertilizer run-off and their effect on the
growth of algae).
