Finish Rachel Carson Documentary
Review some 'Gots' and 'Needs'
GOT:
DDT was meant to kill pests but it was very toxic for humans
98% of American homes sprayed w/DDT
DDT and pesticides were widely used before we knew of their dangers
Everyone thought that DDT was a scientific miracle, but it was very dangerous
I am surprised that scientists tried to eradicate a species (mosquitoes & fire ants)
Eventually pests became immune to DDT
Carson was one of the first women to describe the unknown ocean
After the explosion of a hydrogen bomb there is a fallout of radioactive ash that is toxic
NEED:
What are the long term effects of the over-use of pesticides on the environment?
How many people have been affected by radiation from hydrogen bombs?
When did DDT eventually affect humans?
Are pesticides still used today?
Are GMO's cancer causing?
How did DDT affect the human race physically?
How is DDT different from ones that are still used?
Is DDT still present in the environment and what are the long term effects?
How did radiation affect wildlife?
Why did we never think that radiation would be terrible?
Why did America think that chemicals change everything for the good in the 30's-70's?
How do atomic bombs fit in this documentary?
How did DDT get rid of the potential disease of mosquitoes?
What else can science do negatively/positively?
I still wonder what they did about DDT.
Finish Video: Rachel Carson

Learning Objective: I can learn about Rachel Carson and her impact on the modern environmental movement.
What do you feel so strongly about that you would want to fully dedicate yourself to it, producing a groundbreaking work of literature, film, music or other media, even if this risked your professional reputation and how others thought of you?
Rachel Carson was a biologist in the 1950s-60s who was compelled to share her deep concern about pesticides, even at the risk of her professional reputation. This video will introduce you to Rachel Carson, her concern, her actions, and the impact on her life and broader society.

DDT - a pesticide banned in 1972 that accumulates and persists in ecosystems and has toxic effects on organisms
Rachel Carson - a writer and biologist known for exposing the effects of pesticides in America in a book called Silent Spring
Silent Spring - A book by Rachel Carson published in 1962 outlining the effects of DDT on American society; often claimed to be the kick-off for the environmental movement.
pesticide - chemical agent used to remove pests
synthetic - something artificially crafted
malaria - a harmful disease carried by mosquitos
insoluble - incapable of being dissolved in water
fat solubility - dissolvable in fat
biomagnification - the process whereby certain substances become concentrated in tissues or internal organs as they move up the chain
Video: Rachel Carson
