This week something that I learned is that the Rio grande is used for irrigation, mining, and recreation. I also learned that the Rio Grande is used for a water source and is the border between Texas and Mexico. One other thing I learned is that the Rio grande gives water to 2,100,00 acres of crop land. Another thing is that the Rio Grande makes $20 million dollars from one year because of tourism. One more thing that I learned is that the U.S spent $60 million dollars to clean the Rio Grande river.
SP8: Obtain, Evaluate and communicate information
Science cannot advance if scientists are unable to communicate their findings clearly and persuasively or learn about the findings of others. A major practice of science is thus to communicate ideas and the results of inquiry—orally; in writing; with the use of tables, diagrams, graphs and equations; and by engaging in extended discussions with peers. Science requires the ability to derive meaning from scientific texts such as papers, the internet, symposia, or lectures to evaluate the scientific validity of the information thus acquired and to integrate that information into proposed explanations.
Did you research something, used the CITE-IT strategy and then “told” the class about it?
OR
Did you present something to the class?
In class my group researched the Rio Grande and about its environmental significance, cultural significance, economic significance, an image of our river, and Stewardship.
