SCI 256 Wk 3 – Environmental Pollution Presentation

Perform an internet search to identify an instance of environmental pollution in your state. Use the example you found and the imaginary scenario provided below to complete the assignment.

Scenario: There is a concern about environmental pollution in your state or community. Because of your expertise as an environmental scientist, you have been invited to be a panelist at a town hall meeting in which you will present an overview of the issue. The audience consists of community leaders, members of the scientific community, and some local residents.

Create a 5-to 8-slide presentation (Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, or Sway®) (not pdf) in which you explain the problem from a scientific perspective.

Address the following in your presentation:

• What are the scientific factors that are causing the issue?
• How is the issue identified? Describe the data associated with the problem.
• What solutions or opportunities should be explored to address the issue further?
• Incorporate relevant key words from the Environmental Pollution Key Terms

Use the course textbook and at least 2 outside references. Do not use wikis.

Format your presentation and references according to APA guidelines.

• For Local Campus students, these are oral presentations accompanied by visual presentations (Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, or Sway®).

• For Online and Directed Study students, these are visual presentations (Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, or Sway®) that include brief bullets and detailed speaker notes (300+ words), similar to what you would present orally.

Clarification… Speaker notes = 300+ words total, not per slide. You can use (include) the bullets as part of the speaker notes.

Brief bullets – 1-2 lines of text per bullet (reduces slide clutter). Use speaker notes for additional information.

Suggestion – Include images (photos, graphs, etc.) to enhance audience understanding and experience.
