Environmental Impacts
Chapter Wrap-Up Now that you have read the chapter, think about what you have learned.
Use this checklist to help you study. Complete your Foldables® Chapter Project. Study your Science Notebook on this chapter. Study the definitions of vocabulary words. Reread the chapter, and review the charts, graphs, and illustrations. Review the Understanding Key Concepts at the end of each lesson. Look over the Chapter Review at the end of the chapter.
Summarize It
Reread the chapter Big Idea and the lesson Key Concepts. Summarize why it is important to include a lesson about human population in a chapter about the environment when the remaining three lessons are about land, water, and air. Why does it matter?
