Driving Question: (This
is the essential question that guides and focuses the unit of study or project.
The question should be provocative enough to foster a sense of inquiry and
investigation throughout the project, as well as provide the context for the
project outcomes.
This project is an
exploration of climate and weather, the factors that lead to climate change,
how industrialization has affected climate, and how countries are responding to
climate concerns and industrial development. Students study energy transfer and
biomes in science, and look at the history of industrialization in specific
developed and developing countries.

and use research to create a powerpoint presentation that communicates the
state of industrialization in a given country, and how the issue of global
warming is being addressed.
