Name of Assignment: Final Project Presentation
Subject: Marine Sciences
Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Adam
Description of Work/Assignment: Create a presentation about your solution to a problem affecting the ocean
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? This assignment addressed informational skills. To complete the project I had to identify a problem and research possible solutions to the problem. My problem was the acidification of the ocean; the solution was planting seagrasses.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? From this assignment I am most proud of the solution I proposed. The solution is highly effective at preventing the effects of ocean acidification from affecting marine organisms negative, especially those that have calcium carbonate shells.

What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part about completing this task was the research that I had to do on this topic. There were lots of lengthy scientific publications that I had to read through so I could understand the problem and solution. How could you improve this work? I think I could improve this work by adding more seagrasses to the solution. I only included using a native seagrass to Hawaii, but the solution could be more effective with the help of other species. How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I had to work hard to inform myself about this complex topic. I struggled to comprehend the science behind the solution at first, but I eventually understood it after researching more.
How can you apply this to future learning? I probably will not be able to use this in the future, but maybe I could if I become an ocean farmer and am struggling to get land.
This project is similar to the other research projects that I have done in the past with other science classes.
