    Let’s Check

    Activity no. 1 Now that you have known the most essential terms in the study of
    environmental science. Let us try to check your understanding of these terms. In the space
    provided, write the terms, being asked in the following statements:

    Environmental Science 1. It refers to the systematic study of our environment and our place in
    it.

    Environmental Science 2. An interdisciplinary science integrating natural sciences, social


    sciences, and humanities in broad study of the world around us.

    Environment 3. The circumstances or conditions that surrounds an organisms or group of


    organisms or the complex of social or cultural conditions that affect an individual or community.

    Modern Environmental Movement 4. It is a movement created to protect animals and places


    from human developmental activities.

    Environmental Movement Justice. 5. It is an international movement that aims to encourage


    social, economic, and environmental justice.

    Open System 6. Refers to systems that receive inputs from surroundings and produce outputs
    that leave the system.

    The second law of thermodynamics. 7. It is a law which states that energy is degraded to
    lower- quality forms, or it dissipates and is lost, as it is used.

    Population 8. It consists of all the members of a species living in each area at the same time.

    Ecological pyramids 9. It is an inefficient energy chain.

    Food webs 10. It is a feeding relationship usually weave numerous organisms into large,
    complex, and dynamic networks.

    Let’s Analyze

    1. Define environmental science and identify some important environmental


    concerns we face today. Should environmental science include
    dimensions? Explain.

    Environmental science is the study of the relationships between the natural


    environment and human society. Including physical, chemical, and biological
    processes that comprise the natural world. Some important environmental concerns that
    we face today is Climate change, Loss of biodiversity, Air and pollution and
    Overconsumption of natural resources that needed the most of humans. Yes, including
    multiple dimensions in environmental science can provide a more comprehensive
    understanding of environmental issues and can lead to more effective solutions.

    2. What is science? Identify and discuss some of its basic principles.

    Science for me is something that defines the systematized body of knowledge that
    builds and organize a lot of information in a different form of testable experiments
    and predictions about everything in the universe. These are some basic principles the
    empiricism which is the knowledge is based on observation and experimentation and
    skepticism which scientist’s questions and evaluate claims, hypothesis, and theories.
    3. Draw a diagram showing the difference between a food chain from a
    food web.

    A food web, on the other


    A food chain is a linear hand, is a more complex
    sequence of organisms and interconnected
    that consume one network of food chains.
    another. Each organism It includes multiple food
    in a food chain is a link, chains and shows how
    and each link is different species are
    dependent on the link connected and dependent
    before it for food. on each other for
    survival.

    Both food chains and


    food webs show the flow
    of energy and nutrients
    through an ecosystem,
    and the dependence of
    organisms on each other
    for survival.

    4. Why is ethics being studied in environmental science. Cite examples.

    Ethics is an important part of environmental science because it deals with questions


    of right and wrong, good, and bad, and fairness and justice in relation to the natural
    world and human actions. Because environmental science concerns the study of the
    interactions between the natural environment and human societies, then it has a big
    impact on this topic, in addition environmental science raises many ethical questions.
    Example
    Climate change: How should we respond to the threat of climate change?
    Biodiversity loss: How should we balance economic development with the protection
    of endangered species and their habitats?

    In A Nutshell

    YOUR TURN

    3. Environmental science is the study of the interactions between the natural environment and
    human societies. It encompasses the physical, chemical, and biological processes that make up
    the natural world, as well as the ways in which human activities impact these processes.

    4. Food chain is a linear sequence of organisms that consume one another, starting with a
    producer and ending with a top predator. Food web, on the other hand, is a more complex and
    interconnected network of food chains.

    5. Ethics is an important part of environmental science because it deals with questions of right
    and wrong, good, and bad, and fairness and justice in relation to the natural world and human
    actions. Environmental science raises many ethical questions about how we should use and
    protect natural resources, how we should balance economic development with environmental
    protection, and how we should address the impacts of human activities on the environment.

    6. Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and
    analysis. It is a way of understanding how the natural world works and how different parts of the
    natural world are related to each other.

    7. Environmental science can include multiple dimensions such as social, economic, and political
    dimensions, which provide a holistic understanding of environmental problems and potential
    solutions.

    8. Some important environmental concerns we face today include climate change, loss of
    biodiversity, air and water pollution, soil degradation, and overconsumption of natural resources.

    9. Protection of environment is important for the survival of all living organism and for the well-
    being of human society.

    10. The efficiency of energy chains is important to reduce energy costs and decrease
    environmental impact.
