  2. K-2 Science Question of the Week (2 Questions) 9C Which of the following is most likely to have a negative impact on the Earth’s Environment? Explain. A. Planting trees B. Constructing highways C. Recycling paper and plastics D. Conserving water

  3. K-2 Science Question of the Week (2 Questions) 9C • The Texas Kangaroo Rat makes its home in mesquite bushes. If these bushes are cleared for human homes, which of the following will most likely result? Explain. • The rat population will rise. • B. The rat population will decrease. • C. The rat population will stay the same.

  4. Mesquite bushes are habitats for the endangered Texas Kangaroo Rat. What impact will clearing these areas for home building and construction have on the population of the Kangaroo Rat?

  5. 3-5 Science Question of the Week What is the negative impact of the population of the Burmese Python Population to the Florida Everglades and the Ecosystem? Will there be more or less diversity with other species?

  6. The researchers found a strong link between the spread of pythons and drops in recorded sightings of raccoons, rabbits, bobcats and other species. The origins of Burmese pythons in south Florida are unknown, but many were imported into the US through the pet trade. As the pythons have made it from captivity into the wild, the absence of natural predators has allowed populations to balloon.

  7. The pythons are now found across thousands of sq. km in southern Florida. The numbers removed from the Everglades reached nearly 400 in 2009 and this has been increasing year-on-year to 2011. (BBC news)
