SCI 219 Milestone One Worksheet

This milestone activity is the first of several activities that will build toward the completion of your final project for the course. For this milestone activity, you will submit this completed worksheet in which you will outline and identify the elements below regarding your chosen local environmental issue. See the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document for more detailed information. You may use the information from the Module One journal assignment. Be sure to integrate any feedback you received from your instructor on the journal assignment.

For this milestone worksheet assignment, complete the following:

1. Download this Milestone One Worksheet document.

2. Review the Milestone One Rubric.

3. Complete the three parts below that address the critical elements.

NOTE: Refer to your module resources as well as additional resources you identify for information to help you answer the questions below. Remember that you will need to use current APA style guidelines for your citations and reference list in the final project submission. You will note that each question in the worksheet has you track your citations.

You do not need to provide long answers to the questions. You should be concise, writing 3- to 4-sentence responses. Once you receive feedback from your instructor, you will expand on your answers to complete the final paper at the end of the course.

Part I: Environmental Issue

Environmental Issue

A. Identify the local environmental issue you have chosen and briefly describe its impact on the environment on a global level. Also, state specifically which human activities caused the problem. Support your description with scientific facts. Include citations for your resources using APA guidelines as needed.

Water pollution has a great impact on the environment on especially in developing countries where disease outbreaks such as typhoid and cholera have been reported as the primary cause of infant mortality. The main causes of water pollution is inappropriate disposal of domestic wastes, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides as well as population growth (Haseena et al., 2017). When the substances are released into the environment they get their ways into water bodies and after consumption affect the human health negatively.

B. Describe the impact of this environmental issue on your local community. This may include impact on local ecology or impact on local human activities. Support your description with specific examples.

In the local community, water pollution has been associated with depletion of aquatic life. Some elements released into water bodies results in overgrowth of algae which in turn reduces the supply of oxygen in water (Denchak, 2018). Animals and plants which depend on the oxygen may die or rather get depleted.

Part II: Human Impact

Ecological Processes

A. Identify the ecological processes that are impacted by this environmental issue and briefly describe how each has been impacted by the environmental issue. Support your description with scientific facts.

Water pollution results in death of organisms that live in water bodies such as fish, crabs and seagulls. Insufficient oxygen in the water results in death of the organism. Water pollution also disrupts the natural food chain. For instance, the use of DDT insecticide results in laying thin-shelled eggs by birds of prey which rely fish for survival (Denchark, 2018).
