Lesson 10

Man’s Impact on the Environment


What causes global warming and what are the impacts of global warming?

A greenhouse allows plants to grow in a warm environment during the winter. The glass or
plastic ceilings and walls trap some of the reflected sunlight and retain heat in the
greenhouse.
6S.10.6
How is heat retained on Earth in the similar way to greenhouse?

____________________ is a small amount of gas that is found naturally in the air. This
gas is similar to the glass or plastic ceiling and walls that retain __________ around the
Earth so that the Earth is not too cold.

Explain how global warming causes the habitat of


animals living in the North and South poles to
reduce.

Too much carbon dioxide in the air causes


excessive ___________ to be retained around the
Earth. This increase in heat causes the Earth’s
temperature to rise. It ____________ the icebergs
and reduces the available habitat of animals living in
the North and South poles.

Lesson 10 : Worksheet

Explain how global warming also causes


organisms in other parts of the Earth to lose
their homes.

The melting of icebergs in the North and


South poles causes the sea level to
__________. The increase in the Earth’s
temperature also causes the seawater to
______________ and the sea level to rise. Many areas near the sea will be covered by
water and many organisms will lose their home.

What have you learnt?

⇒ ___________________ gases such as carbon dioxide helps to retain ________


around the Earth so that it is not too cold. However, if there is too much carbon
dioxide, the heat retained around the Earth will increase. The increase in heat
causes the Earth’s temperature to rise and we call that global warming.

⇒ Global warming melts the _______________ in different parts of the Earth and
reduces the habitat of animals such as polar bears and penguins.

⇒ The melting of iceberg and the ________________ of water due to the warmer sea
also causes the sea level to _________ and many areas near the sea will be
covered by water.

⇒ Global warming also affects the world’s ______________ patterns. Some places
around the world experience extreme weather conditions such as drought and
floods.

Lesson 10 : Worksheet

What are the impacts of deforestation?

The diagram shows a forest beside a river.

If the forest is cut down, organisms living in the forest


lose their shelter and food source. They will die.

Deforestation will also affect the organisms in the river.


How does it affect them?

When the forest is cut down, soil _____________ occurs and rain washes a large amount
of soil from the land into the river. The water becomes _____________and
__________________ cannot reach the water plants and animals. As a result, the plants
and animals will ________.
6S.10.7

How does deforestation lead to global warming?


When deforestation destroy plants, there is less
________________________ occurring. Thus the
amount of carbon dioxide in the air will
_______________. Too much of carbon dioxide
retains _________ heat around the Earth and
causes the Earth’s temperature to __________.

What have you learnt?

⇒ ___________________ is the removal of a large section of a forest by cutting down or


burning trees.

⇒ Besides killing trees, deforestation also causes living things to lose their ___________
and __________ source. Thus plants and animals will die and become extinct.

⇒ Plants help to hold soil to the ground. Deforestation removes plants and causes soil
____________. It exposes the soil directly to wind and rain which remove the top layer
of the soil where most ______________ are found. As a result, the ground become
more difficult for plants to grow.

⇒What have you learnt?

⇒ Soil erosion also leads to more soil from the land being washed into the nearby water
bodies. The water become _____________ and ________________ cannot reach the
water plants and animals. As a result, the plants and animals will die.
