EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

​In science, we started with extreme environments and will be starting a partnered PowerPoint research assignment. Students will have one week in class to finish this (4 - 5o minute classes), which consists of six questions. After the PowerPoint, the final objective will be to create a miniature prototype that will assist humans in living and surviving. The assignment is located below as well as the marking rubric.
