SCI 219 Milestone One Worksheet
This milestone activity is the first of several activities that will build toward the completion of your final project for the course. For this milestone activity, you will
submit this completed worksheet in which you will outline and identify the elements below regarding your chosen local environmental issue. See the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document for more detailed information. You may use the information from the Module One journal assignment. Be sure to integrate any feedback you received from your instructor on the journal assignment. For this milestone worksheet assignment, complete the following:
1.
Download this Milestone One Worksheet document.
2.
Review the Milestone One Rubric.
3.
Complete the three parts below that address the critical elements.
NOTE
: Refer to your module resources as well as additional resources you identify for information to help you answer the questions below. Remember that you will need to use current APA style guidelines for your citations and reference list in the final project submission. You will note that each question in the worksheet has you track your citations. You do not need to provide long answers to the questions. You should be concise, writing 3- to 4-sentence responses. Once you receive feedback from your instructor, you will expand on your answers to complete the final paper at the end of the course.
Part I: Environmental Issue
Environmental Issue
Soil Degradation
A.
Identify the local environmental issue
you have chosen and briefly describe its impact on the environment on a global level. Also, state specifically which human activities caused the problem. Support your description with scientific facts. Include citations for your resources using APA guidelines as needed.
Soil degradation is a global issue. Healthy soil is the foundation for agriculture and food production around the world. “The fall of the ancient Greek, Roman, and Mayan empires was more the result of a decline in agricultural productivity
due to soil erosion than of outside forces.” (Wright. 2020). Soil is a complicated ecosystem with an intricate food web and natural processes that take decades or even hundreds of years to establish. Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, overfertilizing, overcultivation, and improper irrigation lead to soil degradation.
B.
Describe the impact of this environmental issue on your local community
. This may include impact on local ecology or impact on local human activities. Support your description with specific examples.
Soil degradation can have major effects on my local community of Monroe County Tennessee. Food insecurity is one of the major issues with poor soil quality. Degraded soils are more susceptible to erosion. Soil erosion can cause turbidity in the watershed, this can kill important species that are part of a complex ecosystem. This would lead to a lack of biodiversity in the region.
Part II: Human Impact
Ecological Processes
Nutrient cycling, Provisions for food, fiber and fuel, Habitat for organisms,
A.
Identify the ecological processes
that are impacted by this environmental issue and briefly describe how each has been impacted by the environmental issue. Support your description with scientific facts.
Nutrient cycling:
is a crucial part of soil health.” According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, atoms cannot be created or destroyed, so recycling is the only possible way to maintain a dynamic system.” (Wright. 2020).
Provision for food, fiber and fuel
: This is not possible without soil capable of growing the plants needed for production. Badly degraded soils will not provide a medium to grow food, fiber, or fuel.
Habitat for organisms:
soils ecosystems provide a very diverse food web that provides niche environments for many species of organisms. Wright, R., & Boorse, D. F. (2020). Environmental science: Toward A sustainable future

This assignment is designed to help you learn how to
determine total costs by combining direct and indirect
costs for a particular department.
In this GHA, you will be determining the total costs for
three departments: (1) Physical Therapy (2)
Occupational Therapy and (3) Speech Therapy.
To determine the total costs, you will need to add the
direct costs to the indirect costs using the template
provided below.
Please use the example provided in the assignment
description if you find that you need some support
understanding the required calculations.
DIRECT COSTS
The direct costs for each department are easily
identifiable, because they are the costs that are directly
attributable to the department.
The direct costs are as follows:
Physical Therapy (PT)
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Speech Therapy (ST)
Total Direct Costs
INDIRECT COSTS
The indirect costs will need to be allocated to Physical
Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech
Therapy (ST).

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc.
The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

Instructions You are required to produce a short lab report using the information given in the accompanying document, ‘Lab report assessment_student data’. This document introduces an experiment, and also provides a set of experimental data for this experiment. You are required to use this data to perform steps 8 and 9 of the procedure. This includes calculations of a particular value, and then comparison to the true value. Consider any experimental errors when comparing calculated values and true values. Your report should be between 300 and 500 words (including all table contents and titles of tables and graphs). Your lab report should consist of three sections only: • Experimental • Results and Discussion • Conclusion You do NOT need to include an introduction section. Your experimental section should be written in appropriate lab report format, (passive voice, 3 rd person, in paragraphs). Your results and discussion section should contain the data presented in table format, and…

You perform the conductivity experiment as described in the lab manual using NaCl solutions of known concentrations. You plot the conductivity of your solutions (μS/m) as a function of the concentration (mol/L). You make a trendline with an equation of y = 1.42 x 105 x + 9.94 x 102. You then test the conductivity of an unknown sample of chicken broth. If the chicken broth conductivity is 7.12 x 103 μS/m. What is the concentration of NaCl in the broth in mol/L?

A friend of yours went panning for gold last weekend and found a nugget
that appears to be gold. With your newfound scientific prowess, you set out
to determine if it is really gold. Your tests show that the nugget has a mass
of 7.6 g. Immersing the nugget in water raised the volume from 7.22 mL to
8.06 mL. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. What will you tell your friend?

The Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method.
I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.
