Human Impact Project
For this project, choose one environmental accident or disaster that has occurred where human activity was the cause.
Your job is to use this incident to help prevent future disasters!
Find out:
- Details of the incident–where, what, how, when
- What was done to clean up the mess
- What the impact on the environment was
- How the damage to the environment hurt the ecosystem
- How the incident impacted humans directly
- Could the incident happen here? If it did, then what would be the impact?
- What should we do to avoid that happening?
You will need to have:
- Notes and bibliography
- A way of sharing the info with us, whether diorama, ppt, prezi, or speech and slideshow of pictures.
- A chart to show data you found about the event
Criteria (rubric to come):
- Complete research with notes in Google Docs where you have put a bibliography entry first and can then cut and paste info you find.
- Good communication skills as you present your information, clear enunciation, volume, speed
- An effective visual aide with evidence
- Must have info relating the event to both impact on environment and on US
- Must have a chart with data, whether about the event or Vancouver as you talk about how to avoid disaster here. Chart must be labeled appropriately, appealing, and use units on x and y axis effectively.
