Science Unit Final

Earth’s Land

 

This is an information page about your Unit Final in Science for 4th Quarter. Rather than a Unit Exam, I have decided to test you with individual hands-on learning over the next 5 weeks. Each week will be worth 20 points, for a total after 5 weeks, of 100 points by the end of May.

 

 

Each week I will give you a small mini-project that must be completed within 1 week’s time. You will be on a tight time-line for handing things in, so DO NOT FALL BEHIND. It will be dangerous to your final grade.

 

This week we will be learning about Natural Resources, and your mini-project will reflect that.

 

Week #1: Natural Resources

 

DATE ASSIGNED: Monday, May 4th

DATE DUE: Tuesday, May 12th

 

·        Part I: Go on a scavenger hunt through magazines and newspapers looking for pictures of the following natural resources: water, soil, air, coal, and trees. Use as many pictures as you can find.

On an 8 ½ x 11 piece of copy paper, create a collage of these pictures. Back this paper with a piece of colorful construction paper.

 

·        Part II: On a separate piece of paper, write out the names of each of these 5 natural resources and for each one, write 2 ways we can protect or renew them. You may type or hands write this page.

Grading:

Part I:  Collage with each natural resource represented                 10 points

Part II: Written part of assignment                                                          10 points
