Overview You will record a presentation of your research on current climate change effects. The presentation must include slides and audio. You must have a minimum of three sources that have been published in the last five years. See the requirements and restrictions below. For each article, you must discuss what is happening. What are the results of their research? You will also need to explain the connection between climate change and the phenomenon occurring. Why are heatwaves occurring? Why are organisms struggling to find their food in spring? How do warming temps affect the precipitation rate? This explanation is meant to show that you understand basic scientific principles. Where applicable, provide data and statistics. You may include graphs and figures as visual aids, but they are not required. If you provide data-based figures, you should spend a bit of time explaining them. The introduction of your presentation should explain the problem (climate change), as well as the focus of your theme (e.g., climate change impacts of India). Briefly, tell the listener what you will be presenting on. Your conclusion should wrap up your research. The conclusion should reiterate the main points of your presentation, including the focus of your report AND each article. Presentation You will record a six- to ten-minute presentation to share on the class discussion board. There is no slide limit or minimum, but you need to meet the minimum time. Slightly longer presentations are acceptable, but presentations must be below 15 minutes. Remember, that you can re-record your presentation before submitting it if needed, including if your presentation does not meet the time requirement. Visuals (e.g., photos or figures) are recommended, though not required. Your presentation must be organized and visually appealing (i.e., not distracting), though it may be simple.
