We took talked about and took notes on the video from Friday about the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park and how it impacted the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere.
Then we talked about the research project that students will be doing in class this week. Each student has a copy of the score sheet and has seen examples of posters from years past. The posters are similar to the assigned project, but does not have all of the expected information, as the project has changed over time. If there are questions, I will be able to help students in-class as they come up. Each student has chosen (from a bag) either a volcanic eruption, an earthquake or a hurricane to research. Students will need to find two facts about how their event impacted each of the four spheres (8 facts in total). In addition to that students need to give a student friendly definition, tell one way that each sphere negatively impacts people, one way that each sphere positively impacts people (ways that people use the sphere), and one way that people negatively impact each sphere (how to do we harm the sphere). There should be a total of 6 sentences on each sphere. Each box for the spheres will also have a graphic/picture showcasing what that sphere is all about. Students will work with me on Wednesday (after most research has been completed) to create their posters for their final drafts. This is an in-class project, and is due on Friday.
