Why? • 4) Focus on fig. 15.4 p. 228 – answer 1, 2, & 3. • Cod "Sounding the Alarm"

  4. Fished Out: The rise and fall of the cod fishery • You will create a “saga of the 1000 year old cod fishery” by creating a timeline that includes a written description. Begin with early explorations of John Cabot and the Vikings up to today. • When complete, write a paragraph about the development of the cod fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador. This will be passed in for marks. • Watch CBC Archives “A fish tale,” Life in a cod town,” and Cod and Confederation. • Fished Out: The rise and fall of the cod fishery

  7. Technology and Resources p. 230 • 1) What are renewable resources, and why do we have to be careful with them? • 2) What are non-renewable resources, and why do we have to be careful with them? • 3) What is sustainable development, and do you think it is important?

  8. Technology and Resources p. 232 • Technology Below Ground • More Blood on the Coal in '58 • Working Man • 1) What are robotics? Why are they important? • 2) What are “minerless mines?” What would this mean for jobs and the economy?

  9. Technology and Resources p. 234 • Technology and the Forest • Jobs versus proper forest management • 1) What is “clear cutting?” Is this a good way to harvest trees? Explain. • 2) What is your reason you value your forest? Why is this important to you? • 3) Examine fig. 15.17 Answer: • What is the benefit of the traditional technology? Modern? Can any harm come from the new technology?

  10. Technology and Resources p. 237 • Technology on the Farm • 1) Explain remote sensing technology. Is this beneficial? • Robots Hard at Work on the Dairy Farm • It has been said that “technology is a wonderful servant and a terrible master.” Explain what this statement means.
