ESCI D.S4.O3.A6 Human Impact
- Due No Due Date
- Points 16
- Submitting a text entry box or a file upload
Your Assignment: I want you to go find a news item that relates to human's impact on the oceans. All this assignment requires is that you read the article and then tell me in a short paragraph what the article was about and what you found interesting in it. Your submission will have five required parts:
- The title of the news item (the headline)
- The URL of the news item
- A short paragraph summarizing the news item
- A short paragraph telling me what you found interesting in the news item
- A sentence or two outlining a solution to the problem discussed in the article.
The news items can be written or video, but they should be "news," not just a website that covers the topic. I want you to see that science is an important part of life every day.
Science Daily Links to an external site. is a great resource for current research. Or this Google search for "human impact oceans Links to an external site.".
