  1. Technological Innovations: AdaptingHow do we use technology to adapt to a place? WG.19.B Analyze ways technological innovations SUCH AS air conditioning and desalinization have allowed humans to adapt to places.

  2. Which words are you familiar with, and which do you not yet know?

  3. ADAPTATION vs. MODIFICATION • ADAPTATION: We work with nature or live with a feature of the environment. Ex: Venice was built around its canals • MODIFICATION: We change the environment by draining, clearing, redirecting or removing. Ex: China’s Three Gorge Dam, which controls the level of the water.

  14. Which modern technology allows populations like Israel's to survive extreme droughts and lack of fresh drinking water? F electricity G levees H canals J desalinization How has desalinization technology helped nations adapt to the environment? F It provides clean drinking water when fresh water is scarce. G It lowers the amount of waste released into the environment. H It prevents flooding along unpredictable rivers. J It provides a cheap source of energy to isolated farms. Let’s see what we know…Which are you ready to answer, and which do you need a peek?
