“A World of Change in My Community”
We can see evidence of our planet's many changes in our back yards, around our neighborhoods, and in our travels. In a photograph, show how your area is influenced by long-term and short-term changes that result from interactions among Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Use your camera to capture evidence of how people in the community are affected by or adapt to such changes. More info.
“Picturing Our Ever-Changing Earth”
Our planet changes all the time. Some of the changes, like earthquakes and storms, happen very quickly. Other changes, such as rocks wearing away to make soil, happen very slowly. What Earth changes do you know about? What do you think causes those changes? Use artwork to show ways in which Earth's air, water, land, and living things change over time. More info.
“How Change Shapes Our Planet”
Write a brief essay explaining how interactions among Earth systems - geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere - change our planet over time. How do people gather evidence of change and study its effects? How are humans' lives affected by these changes? What role do people play in the processes of change on our planet? More info.
