The Zombie Project-A Study of California Counties
Driving Question: How can we as researchers, help the FBI find the safest county in California in order to save the human species from the zombie apocalypse?
Project explanation:This project is an in depth study of the counties of California: Student pairs will look at topography/elevation, agricultural resources, water resources, animal migration, climate/temperatures, highways, building materials, cities and towns, population density, earthquakes/seismic activity, volcanoes, vegetation, exports/services etc. in order to determine the safest counties in California in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Other skills: Students will also develop map reading skills, including locating latitude and longitude lines. Final Project: Students will present findings to the FBI in a variety of formats. A Note to Parents/Guardians: This project is not meant to be scary. Students are empowered by saving the world. One year, I changed the threat to global warming/climate change. I found that project much more scary and much less engaging than the Zombie Project. Key Standards: 4.1 Students demonstrate an understanding of the physical and human geographic features that define places and regions in California.
