Individual Student Chart (minor grade)

  • Source-top 3 locations/sources that you think are the cause of the contamination problem
  • Nature of Pollution: Use cards 4-10 to determine this, you can use more than 1 card. Just put the title from the card in the box. The “cause” is your nature of pollution - You should be able to find “how it is making people sick” on the card or one of the resource sites or one you find on your own.
  • PS or NPS or both – The card you chose may tell you or you can read cards 2-3 and determine this on your own
  • Priority in Investigation- Identify the 3 mostly likely candidates for the Green Valley contamination problem. #1 should be the most likely #2 and #3
  • Justification You will explain this in detail in your presentation but only put bullet points on the chart & your ppt. These should help youexplain what it is specifically in the pollution from the site that is making the citizens sick. You will explain using the map how the contamination got from your location to at least one of the places that people got sick during the presentation.
