400 Question Topic 1

• Alaska has rivers that are the homes to many
  salmon. These salmon travel upstream each spring
  to spawn.
• Government officials are planning to construct
  several large dams on these rivers. Although the
  dams will create some noise, they will produce
  much needed electricity for homes and businesses.
• Think of how the dams will affect the salmons
  ability to live in the river. Describe two
  effects that the proposed dams would have on the
  salmons ability to live in the river. Explain
  your answer. (2 Points)

20
400 Answer Topic 1

• Answer
• Answers may vary. Since the salmon depend on
  traveling upstream to reproduce, the dam will
  interfere with the species ability to survive.
  Other possible answers could include that the dam
  will affect the level of food or water needed for
  the salmon to live.
• Rubric
• Two Points Response describes at least two
  effects that the proposed dams would have on the
  salmons ability to live in the river.
• One Point Response describes at least one
  effect that the proposed dams would have on the
  salmons ability to live in the river.
• Zero Points Response indicates no understanding
  of the concept(s).

• Answers may vary. Acceptable resources include
  biomass, solar, geothermal, wind, or hydropower.
  Some solar energy explanations include adding
  windows for letting in sunlight and heat or solar
  panels to capture light for heat or electrical
  energy. A biomass example could be using a fire
  to heat the home. Using a windmill to capture
  energy or using a water wheel on a local river
  fulfills wind or hydropower energy. Tapping into
  local hot springs or using ground-piping to heat
  or cool water is acceptable for geothermal energy.
