The Mindflight7 Cataclysmic Earth Experience for high school students explores the dramatic impact humans have on the biodiversity of the earth.
High school students taking this experience brave the biting cold of Iceland, taking in the splendid sights of the Blue Lagoon, Strokker Geyser and a waterfall. They see how geography and its environmental impacts affect one another over time. They may also take a field trip to Glacier National Park, Montana, USA to see, first hand, the effects of global warming with their own tour guide.
Biodiversity is the variability among all living things from all sources, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part. This includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems.
Biodiversity is also fundamental to human occupied environments as well as to nature due to the interrelatedness of our world. Biodiversity is vital to human well-being.
All of the decisions humans make influence biodiversity and affect the well-being of both themselves and others. Humans play a vital role in biodiversity given the rapid increase of human population.
The accompanying virtual tutorial provides further instructions to help students develop a deeper understanding in this area.
