Remember how we started with those big questions?
- How might changes, such as global warming, pollution, invasive species, and overfishing in the Gulf of Maine habitat influence the survival of a species?
- How do different organisms in the Gulf of Maine depend on each other?
- How can science and technology be used to help protect the Gulf of Maine?
- How can we all help protect the Gulf of Maine?
Now is the time to look back over everything you learned and see what you know.
Assignment:
1. For three questions, spend some time writing out short answers. You can even use illustrations or bulleted lists.
2. For one question, find a creative way to show your answer. You could make a poster, write a poem or song, do a skit, make a Power Point, restaurant placemats, write a letter, make a podcast, or write a nonfiction essay. This will be your homework.
3. Practice presenting your work to the class, or to a small group of peers. Ask peers to give you feedback on your knowledge of the essential question. How does your product show your knowledge of the essential question.
4. Present your work at the Gulf of Maine Celebration!
