Activity 3. Looking after the seas

The importance of the seas as a resource

Do you think that the seas can cover the continents? Why do you think that there are professionals in the field that believe this? Are the seas in danger? Can we help to look after them?

What would happen if sea levels went up by 14 meters in Euskadi?

Slowly advance the video and pay attention to the coasts. You will see how the water gradually takes over more land. Impressive, right?

Activity

In groups of 4 members, you need to make a Glogster poster (http://edu.glogster.com/) about the problems of warming seas and possible solutions so that this does not happen. The following questions will help you:

  • Do you think that the seas could cover the continents? Why do you think that there are professionals in the field who believe this?
  • Are the seas in danger?
  • Can we help to look after them? What can you do in school, at home and on an individual level in relation to this problem?

Consult the following pages:

To organize yourselves better, you can take on the following roles in the group:

  • Journalist: in charge of searching for information on the Internet and reading it.
  • Secretary: responsible for taking notes of relevant information (on paper or in a text editor)
  • Editor: responsible for creating the Glogster poster. Here you have a tutorial: Glogster for pupils.
  • Speaker: responsible for presenting the work in front of the class.

Remember that you have to work together, although each one of you will be more responsible for one part.

We recommend that before making the Glogster poster you make an outline on paper. It is important that the information is properly distributed and that the poster captures people’s attention. Do not forget that when you use text or images created by others, you must provide a reference with a link.

Now it’s time to present the work. As you give you presentation, your peers will evaluate you with the following document: co-evaluation.zip (.odt).

Now is the time to check what you have learned in this teaching sequence. In the following link you will find a test, think about the question before you answer. If you make mistakes, look carefully at the correct answer. You can learn a lot from your mistakes. Go to the evaluation activity.
