Five groups will be presenting on five different topics pertaining to our oceans.

Each group will be responsible for presenting an in depth PowerPoint to the class. Information presented by each group will be on the unit test. You are responsible for a) presenting/contributing to your groups presentation and b) paying close attention to all the other group presentations. Your textbook is a great resource, but I also encourage you to use the many fantastic sources on the web.
