Human Impacts Database

Provided by: Anthroponumbers |Published on: November 7, 2022

Graphs/Tables Grades 9-12, ap-college

Synopsis

This database provides quantitative information about the impact of humans on many environmental and sustainability-related factors, including the size of the ozone hole, albedo changes, ocean pH over time, and global emissions.
Each quantity is taken from a recent scientific report or paper and may include links to graphs, data, or methods.

Subjects: Chemistry, Biology, Earth and Space Sciences, Mathematics

Authors: Chure et al. 2022

Region: Global

Languages: English

Positives

This database would be extremely useful for students conducting research for a project or experiment.
This resource compiles and simplifies data in a relatively easy-to-understand format.
The source and original data set are available for most values.

Additional Prerequisites

Students should have a strong understanding of the general impacts of climate change and how humans affect the environment.
Students should always look carefully at the source of the data. Some sources may be less reliable than others or be more dated than others.

Differentiation

Have math students use the graphs provided for a topic to make inferences about why the rate of change has increased, decreased, or stayed the same over time.
Have students consider what feedback loops may result from some of the impacts listed and what that means for humans and the environment.
The graphs are especially useful for students who may have difficulty interpreting the significance of an activity or change in value.
