Poster or Powerpoint presentations
Both the poster or the Powerpoint presentations should present materials and explanations for all the areas below. Each should also present thoughtful predictions and solutions which are realistic based on the information and data presented. To help you answer the big question, there is data provided from Sunset Crater from 2000-2010. This data will be analyzed and a graph entered on the presentation. Students should also use the graph from their local area climate change activity.
Ask your teacher for a copy of the grading rubric. This will make sure that you know what is expected from you while you are producing your project.
I. Build Your Project
- Title (Poster) Title page (PowerPoint)
- Introduction: Include an overview of what your project is about: The big question should be broken into sub-questions such as:
- How does climate change affect the growth of Pinyon pine?
- How does climate change affect scale infestations?
- How does increased scale infestation affect Pinyon pine?
- Characteristics/General Information about Pinyon Pine
- Climate Change: Information on the causes, effects in general and for Pinyon, and implications for the future if not addressed. Include the graph from your local climate and any decisions you may have made concerning climate change in your area.
- The Scale Insect:Explain the life cycle and dependency on the Pinyon. Describe the effects on the Pinyon.
- Results: Analyze the data from Sunset Crater, make a graph and explain how the climate affects the scale and the effect on the stem growth of Pinyon Pine.
- Data for Analysis
- Predictions and Solutions: List the predictions and solutions from your group.
