10/7/2013 
Biogeochemical Cycles Film Festival!!!
 
Project due 10/17/2013. You can earn +20 points by presenting on Friday, 10/11. 

Film festival winners will receive +5 points. We will vote in class.

Today, you will work on your Biogeochemical Cycles project in class. This is the research and planning phase. 

• no more than five people per group.
• decide who will cover what cycle.
• decide how you will create the video (STORYBOARD on back of rubric)
• decide when you will work on this together.

When you leave today, you will turn in a storyboard showing how the video will be put together.
 
Remember there are five cycles that you will talk about in your video:

1. Carbon
2. Nitrogen
3. Phosphorous
4. Rock
5. Water

Here's a good example to give you some ideas:
