Environmental Issues you may choose to Research  Renewable Resources  Nonrenewable Resources  Habitat Destruction  Air pollution  Water Pollution  Acid Rain  Ozone Layer Depletion  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle  Solar Energy  Endangered Species  Ecotourism  Soil Erosion and Conservation  Rachel Carson/Pesticide Use  Nuclear Power/Potential Hazards  Global Warming  Invasive Species  Overpopulation  Deforestation  Oil Spills  Planning for the Future  Destruction of Coral Reefs  Overgrazing/Desertification of Grasslands  Ocean Acidification

Your Presentation Topic Must include answers to these questions  What is your topic’s definition?  Why is it important?  What are the sources to this type of environmental issue?  What is the process of this issue?  How do humans impact this issue?  What can humans do to diminish this type of issue?  Interesting Facts  *How long will it take to fix this problem?

Criteria for Groups  1 person = 1 product  2 people = 2 products (1/person)  3 people = 3products (1/person)  Options for Products:  PowerPoint/Prezi/Google Slides/etc.  Poster – your materials  Informational Brochure

 All products made by a group should be made together. Consistent information.  Each group member, however, is responsible for their product specifically  Ex: Me and Jimmy are in a group. We chose acid rain. I will be doing a poster and Jimmy is doing a presentation.  I am responsible for my poster  Jimmy is responsible for his presentation.  We work on research together, however, I am responsible for my portion of the group project.

Multiple Products: Possibly may have different information 1 st Product  Shows process of environmental issue  Interesting facts 2 nd Product  Answers questions  Human impacts Kahoot! +20 points Create.kahoot.it - Make your own Kahoot!
