First Nine Week Project Topics

Y'all thought I forgot didn't ya? You know I wouldn't let you by without dishing out my Nine Weeks Project I talked about in Open House and at the beginning of the year. It will be graded on a rubric. It's your choice of how to present it be it report paper (5 page max limit, 2 minimum, font no bigger than 12 if 2-3 page or 14 if 4-5 page), in class presentation (Posters, Skits/Dramatizations, Power-Points--bring your own Thumb Drive for this one). It will be due by the next to last week of the first nine weeks which I think is the week of October 6th.

And now the topics:
- The history of science
- Hipparchus
- Galileo Galilei
- How the scientific method works
- What is cartography
- GPS/GIS (Global Positioning Systems/Global Information Systems)
- The atmosphere's role in life on Earth
- Pick any layer of the atmosphere and research on it
- Global Warming
- Coriolis Effect
- Types of Global Winds
- Air Pollution and Associated Health Problems
- Different climates/weather patterns throughout the world
- Types of severe storms
- History of hurricanes in Florida
- Tornadoes/Tornado Chasers

There you have it. If you have a topic of interest of your own and it is tied to something we have studied this nine weeks, feel free to bring it to me. Also, be thinking about your Science/Engineering Fair topics for next nine weeks, I'll be asking for those in the very very near future.

Night all!
