Research Project & Presentation
Your Task: Create a Google Drive Presentation that demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of significant concepts in
...
your knowledge and understanding of significant concepts in Biology and Chemistry. Describe the relationship of some or all of the significant concepts that you identify through the use of a specific example.
General Format of the Presentation:
Twelve Slides (Minimum).
Two Appropriate and Interesting Videos - length of the video must be reasonable and content must be focused.
Three interactive links must be included.
Appropriate and well-placed pictures and illustrations.
1 - 2 uses of audio recordings - i.e. you describing knowledge that contributes to your
Presentation.
Minimal use of text alone.
Multimedia used to convey knowledge and understanding on each slide.
Content:
3 Big Ideas in Biology - *must include the basic unit of life, the Cell, and why it is important to the structure, function, and evolution of life on Earth.
3 Big Ideas in Chemistry - *must include the basic unit of matter, the Atom, and why it is
important to the structure, function, and evolution of life on Earth.
Specific Example: Pick Your Own Example that combines some or all of your big ideas from Biology and Chemistry and describe how those big ideas affect the structure, function, and evolution of your example.
Example 1: The Ocean
Think of the ocean as a biome made up of non-living and living things.
How do your big ideas in biology and chemistry relate to the structure, function, and evolution of the oceans?
Include descriptions (examples) of the relationship between the non-living (chemistry) and living (biology) things in oceans.
Example 2: A Bear
Think of a bear as a living organism that is made up of and relies upon non-living (chemistry) and living (biology) things.
What is the bear made up of? Cells that form ________ that form _________ that form _________ that form the bear.
What does a bear eat? What nutrients does a bear get from the specific foods that it eats?
How do these nutrients (chemical elements of a bear’s diet) contribute to the growth, function, and structure of the bear?
**You may use one of the examples provided or pick your own.
Steps:
Step 1: Identify 3 big ideas in Biology ( 1 idea must be the Cell, basic unit of life)
Step 2: Identify 3 big ideas in Chemistry (1 idea must be the Atom, basic unit of matter)
Step 3: Choose your specific example.
Step 4: Slide 1 - Project Title Slide.
Step 5: Slides 2 - 11 (minimum) - Body of Project.
Step 6: Slide 12 - Conclusion.
Step 7: Turn in your presentation for my revisions.
Step 8: Revise.
Step 9: Turn in your final research project presentation for grading.
