Today we started a new unit called Earth’s Fluid Spheres. In Chapter 1 “Oceans and Your Community” we’ll be doing our first Chapter Challenge (group project). In this challenge your will be creating a report to advise the state on whether or not they should hold a conference on how to prepare for an El Nino event. Your investigation will examine the causes of ocean circulation currents, the effects El Nino on these currents, food chains, and weather, and lastly what impacts this might have on Florida.
Chapter Challenges are long term projects, approximately 3 weeks. A single report will be produced per table and all students will share in the grade (some variation in grade may occur based on student contribution evaluations). During the 3 weeks classwork will supply the needed information for the report, however the report itself will be done as homework.
how is everybody in our group suppose to do 1 report for homework?…we all have to have different reports or the same?
We’ll discuss how you are going to do this in class. There are a number of methods.
One way might be to break the report into separate sections and assign them to different people. One person can act as editor and combine the information. You will have some time in class to review status with each other.
there is a typo…
[[=
