(0)
Entire unit of work for Environmental systems and societies topic 8.2: resource use in society. Full lessons ready to teach: no extra planning needed. This resource covers: Renewable natural capital can be generated and/or replaced as fast as it is being used. It includes living species and ecosystems that use solar energy and photosynthesis, as well as non-living items, such as groundwater and the ozone layer. • Non-renewable natural capital is either irreplaceable or can only be replaced over geological timescales; for example, fossil fuels, soil and minerals. • Renewable natural capital can be utilized sustainably or unsustainably. If renewable natural capital is used beyond its natural income this use becomes unsustainable. • The valuation of natural capital can be divided into the following two main categories. • The impacts of extraction, transport and processing of a renewable natural capital may cause damage, making this natural capital unsustainable. • Natural capital provides goods (such as tangible products) and services (such as climate regulation) that have value. This value may be aesthetic, cultural, economic, environmental, ethical, intrinsic, social, spiritual or technological. • The concept of a natural capital is dynamic. Whether or not something has the status of natural capital, and the marketable value of that capital varies regionally and over time and is infuenced by cultural, social, economic, environmental, technological and political factors. Examples include cork, uranium and lithium.

Entire planned unit of work for Environmental systems and societies, ready to pick up and teach - no extra planning needed. Covers: Demographic tools for quantifying human population include crude birth rate (CBR), crude death rate (CDR), total fertility rate (TFR), doubling time (DT) and natural increase rate (NIR). • Global human population has followed a rapid growth curve, but there is uncertainty as to how this may be changing. • As the human population grows, increased stress is placed on all of the Earth’s systems. • Age–gender pyramids and demographic transition models (DTM) can be useful in the prediction of human population growth. The DTM is a model that shows how a population transitions from a pre-industrial stage with high CBRs and CDRs to an economically advanced stage with low or declining CBRs and low CDRs. • Infuences on human population dynamics include cultural, historical, religious, social, political and economic factors. • National and international develo

ESS (IBDP) 1.3 energy and energy and equilibria unit of work

(0)
Entire unit of work for Environmental systems and societies topic 1.3: energy and equilibria. Full lessons ready to teach: no extra planning needed. Covers: The first law of thermodynamics is the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy in an isolated system can be transformed but cannot be created or destroyed. • The principle of conservation of energy can be modelled by the energy transformations along food chains and energy production systems. • The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system increases over time. Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system. An increase in entropy arising from energy transformations reduces the energy available to do work. • The second law of thermodynamics explains the in efficiency and decrease in available energy along a food chain and energy generation systems. • As an open system, an ecosystem will normally exist in a stable equilibrium, either in a steady-state equilibrium or in one developing over time (for example, succession), and maintained by stabilizing negative feedback loops. • Negative feedback loops (stabilizing) occur when the output of a process inhibits or reverses the operation of the same process in such a way as to reduce change—it counteracts deviation. • Positive feedback loops (destabilizing) will tend to amplify changes and drive the system towards a tipping point where a new equilibrium is adopted. • The resilience of a system, ecological or social, refers to its tendency to avoid such tipping points and maintain stability. • Diversity and the size of storages within systems can contribute to their resilience and affect their speed of response to change (time lags). • Humans can affect the resilience of systems through reducing these storages and diversity. • The delays involved in feedback loops make it difficult to predict tipping points and add to the complexity of modelling systems.
