Chesapeake Bay Project

Students will identify and describe how human activities have impacted the Chesapeake Bay.

We will complete a project on the Chesapeake Bay. Students will work in groups to complete research on an issue that affects the Bay and then create a power point presentation to share what they've learned with the class.

Students will be given 2 class periods to complete the research and power point.

Students may need to spend time out of class completing this project.

Students are encouraged to bring a personal flash drive to class so they can work on their project at school and at home.
