1. Inquiry Project Term 1 (Science) <br />Overarching statement<br />How do the resources of an area shape its’ development?<br />Guiding questions: Depending on your group, you will be doing either Question 1, 2 or 3.<br />1a. Compare resource use in BC during the Gold Rush with today. (choose 3-4 resources from your time period and 3-4 from today. They don’t have to be the same.)<br />What were the main resources used then and now?<br />How were they used then and now?<br />How were they extracted then and now?<br />What was the impact on the environment then and now?<br />How do these resources shape BC’s development? (Past and present)<br />1b. Compare resource use in BC during the Fur Trade with today. (choose 3-4 resources from your time period and 3-4 from today. They don’t have to be the same.)<br />What were the main resources used then and now?<br />How were they used then and now?<br />How were they extracted then and now?<br />What was the impact on the environment then and now?<br />How do these resources shape BC’s development? (Past and present)<br />1c. Compare resource use in BC during the development of the railway with today. (choose 3-4 resources from your time period and 3-4 from today. They don’t have to be the same.)<br />What were the main resources used then and now?<br />How were they used then and now?<br />How were they extracted then and now?<br />What was the impact on the environment then and now?<br />How do these resources shape BC’s development? (Past and present)<br />Assessment<br />Over the course of the 6 weeks there will be small mini assessments in the form of quizzes, verbal assessments or mini tasks. The main assessment will come at the end of the 6 weeks where you present all your findings in the form of a Powerpoint. Your Powerpoint will be uploaded to your dashboard using Slideshare. <br />
