Help your students build real understanding of deforestation and land use through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "How can satellite data assist in urban planning?", "What is a consequence of deforestation linked to population needs?", and "Which satellite data product is most useful for assessing forest cover change?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Population Growth Over Time, Resource Use per Capita, Environmental Footprint, Waste and Pollution, Systems Thinking Feedback, and Urbanization and Agriculture, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS3-4.
