1. GROUP IV PROJECT: Human Impact on the Environment

2. Narrowing a topic Energy Soil Science Hydrology Pollution Sustainable Energy Soil Contamination Erosion Light Pollution Biomass Phyto- remediation Plant covers Dark Skies

3. Energy Sustainable Energy Biomass Which biomass materials are the best options for a sustainable energy source and how do they work?

4. Pollution Light Pollution Dark Skies How much impact do “dark skies” have on wildlife and energy consumption?

5. Hydrology Erosion Plant covers How can plant covers prevent or reduce soil erosion?

6. Soil Science Soil Contamination Phyto- remediation How (and how much) do ferns and other plants decontaminate soil?

7. Making a bad question better… Cars: What is their effect on the environment and people? Hybrid cars: Do they have a beneficial effect on gas consumption and pollution? Hybrid cars: How effective are they at reducing gas consumption and pollution? Cars: What is their effect on the environment and people?

8. Finding Sources: Start with the City Library Research Wiki
