What is one major way humans pollute the air?
  1. by using fertilizers on crops
  2. by releasing carbon dioxide from plants
  3. by burning fossil fuels to produce energy
  4. by destroying producers in colder climates
Grade 5 Environmental Science
These products of nature are limited. Resources such as coal and oil are               , which means that when they are gone, nature cannot make them again. It is very important to limit their use and find other resources to replace them.
  1. nonrenewable
  2. replaceable
  3. usable
  4. unlimited
Grade 5 Environmental Science
We depend upon nature to supply us with the raw materials to make the things we use every day. These                  such as trees for making paper, and oil for heating and for producing plastic products, are limited. We must conserve them for future use.
  1. natural resources
  2. minerals
  3. sources
  4. materials

Fertilizers flowing into a lake can cause the rapid growth of algae. How does the rapid growth of the algae affect the ecosystem of a lake?
  1. It attracts more birds and other wildlife to the lake.
  2. It prevents the loss of habitats for fish and other organisms.
  3. It causes a rapid increase in the population of fish in the lake.
  4. It causes a rapid increase in the population of plants in the lake.
