The Impact of Climate Change on Health Scientists are able to make very accurate predictions about the amount of temperature change that will occur due to future greenhouse gas emissions. Using computer models, scientists are also able to predict how increments in temperature change will impact the world around us. Often the way things are phrased in a news source can sensationalize a topic beyond what the scientists’ research actually suggests. Reporters want to grab our attention and impress us with the importance of the findings in the research, but this approach can turn possible outcomes into a sure thing just by changing a few words. There is a big difference in the prospect of an event occurring depending on whether it is likely, possible, or certain. Watch for these terms in reading the materials provided for this and future assignments. There are many different factors that must be considered when we discuss the impact of climate change around the world. This activity will focus on the challenging idea of how climate change will affect the health of our children. Children’s health is most vulnerable to small, incremental changes, and our children will be dealing with the results of climate change long after we adults are gone. The shifting of rain and drought patterns, the range of temperature changes, and the resulting changes in plants, insects, and animals—the global environmental zones will be in flux over the next century. The readings here will discuss these changes and how scientists predict they will affect the health and well-being of our children. Completing this activity will assist you in mastering Module Level Outcomes 2 and 3. First, read the following: WHO Climate Change and Health (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fact Sheet 266 (updated 9/2015)Pocinki, A., Reeves, R.V. (2016). The world's children are already suffering from climate change (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. .

[PDF file size 1.6 MB], The Future of Children, Princeton-Brookings, Policy Brief, Vol.26 N.1 Spring 2016 (This is a large report, you should read pages 3-9 for this assignment) Next, submit the following: A completed M2A2 Your Science Tool Kit (download M2A2 STK template) [DOCX, File size 25.3 KB] examining and analyzing the information in the Brookings blog report by Alegra Pocinki and Richard V. Reeves. You should rely on the WHO Fact Sheet and the Princeton-Brookings policy brief as your sources for reliable, factual information to compare and contrast to the blog report.

Your lab assignment presentation involves putting together a PowerPoint presentation to show other students on how to perform titration. In other words, your presentation can be used to show other students (next term) how they can perform a titration by following your instructions and calculations. To do this presentation (minimum 6 slides, in PPT), we are giving you the type of acid, acetic acid, the type of base, NaOH to be used, and you will use phenolphthalein as the indicator. You will create a mock titration experiment and use your own hypothetical data (volume of vinegar, Molarity of NaOH and volume of NaOH for three trials) to solve the titration calculations (consult me, if you are in doubt). At the end of your presentation, you will show the unknown concentration of the acetic acid (Molarity) and will also show the % mass/vol of the Vinegar solution. Your presentation must consist of more than merely a series of bullet points to earn full credit Remember, you want to teach your peershow to do titration experiment and the calculations. We would be able to reproduce it with ease. Use the Notes section for each slide to fully explain your answers. TurnItIn will be used, so paraphrase where necessary to avoid plagiarizing.  Grading: See rubric for specific grading criteria (in My Grades). You will be graded based on the rubric; therefore, carefully read it before you start creating your assignment. Remember it is 100 points, so your work must show quality and effort. To include in your PPT presentation: Part 1 Title page Purpose of a titration, what is titration and why do we perform a titration? Include your thoughts on why understanding acid/base titration is important to your future career, and how you will use this concept as you complete your degree (at least 5 sentences and examples). Instrumentation - what are the instruments, glassware used when performing a titration. Chemicals and Procedures. What chemicals are needed? List and explain the procedures for this experiment (refer to Lab Manual pages 227-230) Your base concentration must have 3 decimals and your acid volume must have at least 1 decimal. Buret readings will give you two decimals. Observations and expectations - List the observations and write your expectations. This might include color change and when the equivalence point (endpoint) might be reached. Part 2 Calculations and Results. Show all your step-by-step calculations and write your results, the Molarity of the acetic and the % of the acetic acid. addition/subtraction -> fewest decimals multiplication/division  -> fewest sig figs HINT: use Part A on page 233 as a template. Week 7 lab answer keyDownload Week 7 lab answer key  Remember sig figs in calculations to properly express your final answers (molarity and % mass): Reference page (in proper APA format) For help and videos: Your instructor will provide guidance and examples for completing calculations for titration.

1. Select one primate species from each of the following headings (for a total of 5 primates) to research on the internet. Therefore, you should choose 1 prosimian, 1 NW monkey, 1 OW monkey, 1 lesser ape, and 1 great ape. (Be sure to include references for the websites you used.)Prosimians:LemursLorisesGalagosTarsiersNew World Monkeys:MarmosetsTamarinsHowler MonkeysSpider MonkeysCapuchinsOld World Monkeys:BaboonsMacaquesGuenonsColobusLangursHylobatidae (Lesser Apes):GibbonsSiamangsPongidae (Great Apes):OrangutansChimpanzeesGorillasBonobos2. Focusing on the 5 primates you have selected, note the following aspects about each of them.Scientific name and common nameReasons for being in the taxonomic category of prosimian, monkey, or apeGeographic locationDietDental formulaSexual dimorphismLocomotor styleType of noseBody sizeAny unusual featuresEndangered status.......................................................................................................................................................................................................3. Find images on the internet of primate behavior, and cut-and-paste the images into a word document. These images can be of any primate species. You do not have to only use the species you used in #1 of this assignment. You should describe each of the images…what type of primate, what they are doing, what it means, etc…and include the website address as a reference. You must include 5 images of each of the following behaviors (so you should have a total of 20 images):Affiliative (friendly)AggressiveEatingTool use
