Overview
You'll listen to an "Ologies" (the study of) podcast of your choice from the list below. These podcasts are interviews with experts in a given '-ology'. Based on the podcast, you'll summarize:
- 5 amazing facts you've learned from the podcast about group of organisms being discussed,
- who the scientist is who's being interviewed by the host Alie Ward and why they decided to devote their lives to the study of their particular 'ology'.
Then you'll do research to find an example of the species from your group that occurs in Michigan, summarize 5 cool facts about that species using appropriate resources, which you cite in your factsheet. Your cool facts about the organism you selected could come from the scientific article or the appropriate resources listed below.
Science communication isn't all about the facts. It's also about how they are presented, and in this assignment, you'll use a creative approach in the presentation of this information. Instead of a traditional written assignment, you'll use a provided PowerPoint template (or create your own if you're so inclined!) to lay out your findings in an engaging way. I did provide some documents to guide you. there is a citation document in order to know how to cite. the rubric and other thinks. I will provide the podcast and the topic later
