Step 1--List what is known
The two columns below illustrate the related tasks to be completed in Step 1. You do not need to conduct any research to do this step. Use your current knowledge and the information from the situation to fill in the lines provided. In the space provided in the first column, list what you know about the Florida Panther. Then look at the Earth System Diagram in the second column. Notice how the arrows go to and from the event and spheres. These arrows indicate that the cause and effect relationships go both from the event to the spheres and from the spheres to the event (Image of a gold double-sided arrow.). Thinking about these relationships, list your ideas about how the event--restoring the flow and level of water in the Everglades--could possibly impact the four spheres that make up the Everglades ecosystem.

List prior knowledge about the Florida Panther.










List prior Earth system science knowledge regarding the restoration of the water levels and flow to the Everglades.
