Introduction
Students will work with a partner to research various forms of erosion. They will analyze satellite images looking for erosion due to running water, wave action, wind, and weather. Based upon this research, students will create three PowerPoint slides to visualize change over time.Prerequisite Experience
Students should be able to conduct research online and use a word processor. Prior PowerPoint or other presentation software tool experience would be helpful. Experience with image editing software (i.e. Photoshop or Paint) and the ability to capture images from the computer will also be helpful.Teacher Prep Time
1 – 2 hours
Review the identified Web resources in Explore and these tutorials:
Project
Students will use the Internet to conduct research and presentation software, like PowerPoint, to create a multimedia presentation demonstrating their understanding of erosion. The use of digital images and imaging software will help students visualize change over time.Assessment/Grading
Using a presentation rubric, the student PowerPoint projects will be evaluated on their subject knowledge, their analytical skills, and their ability to use the tools to convey their applied understanding.Time Management Tips
Students should complete some research individually as a homework assignment.
This project is designed for teams of two.
