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.
