For the next part of our topic, you are being asked to carry out a research project on “LIFE BELOW WATER”. Your research can be presented as:
- a report
- a video
- a powerpoint
- sway presentation.
In your report I am looking for you to include the following:
- locate the major oceans on a map and take account of where they are in relation to countries and places of interest
- research key facts about the main oceans of the world
- explore the effects of climate change on the world’s oceans
- research the ‘bleaching’ of the Great Barrier Reef and how climate change is contributing to this
- suggest ways humans could slow down the process of climate change
- investigate which oceans have particular problems with pollution
- suggest ways the governments of countries around polluted oceans can work to improve them
- investigate some of the marine life which are threatened by human intervention.
EXTENSION – To up-level your project you could add some of the following:
- research to find out about organisations who work to protect oceans
- choose and research something which lives under the water
- research the Great Barrier Reef and how organisations work to protect it
- how sound vibrations travels through waves and water
- investigate how dolphins communicate
- research why sound travels faster through water than through the air
- investigate why the temperature of the water effects the speed that the sound travels
- give my opinion on why looking after the oceans are a priority
THIS WORK IS DUE FOR COMPLETION ON – Friday 27th March
You will be expected to research and add to your project every afternoon this week + any extra time you put in.
I look forward to seeing your final projects. Please send them to me on seesaw or glow.
