Hydrosphere Hazard Poster

In the first week of these projects,you will find existing maps, images and information online and create a poster presentation using Powerpoint, Publisher, Keynote, etc. about the hazard. The following two weeks, you will create and submit your own original maps of geography patterns.You will do this by using free online map makers. In the final part of the project, you will use your individual maps to become the “stops” along a virtual field trip pamphlet using the imagery in Google Earth, other images, and your researched sources.

This project assesses Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3. See the syllabus for SLO and SPO definitions and descriptions:

SLO 1: Demonstrate scientific literacy by analyzing and interpreting physical geography data (from the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere) and comprehending scientific methodology and its limitations.

SPO 1:Analyze and interpret physical geography data in multiple forms (maps, graphs, tables, diagrams).

SPO 2:Have the skills to read, analyze, and interpret maps SPO 3:Comprehend scientific methodology and its limitations

SLO 2: Demonstrate global literacy and awareness by analysis and interpretation of the complex global patterns and processes of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.

SPO 4:Compare and contrast spatial variation and diversity of Earth’s physical geography at global, regional and local scales.

SPO 5: Analysis and interpretation of global physical geography patterns including air temperature, air pressure, wind, precipitation, climate, landforms, ocean currents and biota.

SLO 3: Formulate geographic research questions and hypothesis to evaluate solutions to complex real world physical geography problems.

SPO 6: Formulate geographic research questions and hypothesis about geography patterns and processes.

SPO 7: Evaluate and apply solutions to complex real world physical geography problems and hazards including Climate Change, Hazardous Landform Processes, Severe Weather, Water Resources, and Sea Level Rise.
