• model flow of matter and energy in ecosystems and identify the ecological principles of human interactions with the environment;
• use simple arithmetic to carry out calculations such as carrying capacity, growth rate, doubling time of population samples, etc, and give examples of how humans impact the environment with population growth, energy use, and pollution, comparing both industrial and developing societies;
• apply the scientific principles, identify the technologies, and determine their efficiency and their impact on environmental problems; and
• explain how the choices and tradeoffs posed by environmental challenges are connected to an individual’s personal decisions.
