Assignment Option Three: Take on a Role Throughout this lesson you have explored how hydrophones work and what data they provide scientists. Using what you know, or additional information from a variety of sources, create a presentation (speech, character role, PowerPoint, debate or discussion) of the following: Take on the role of a scientist. You need to make a pitch to a company of group to receive funding to support your research. You must interest and engage the company by explaining what you want to study using hydrophones. Your presentation can include information you know you will collect on a hydrophone and information you suspect you will collect on a hydrophone. Be sure to include the following in your presentation: An introduction as to who you are, and what you hope to learn. Note to students: You may not know the answer to your question, but you must indicate how you will learn the answer. How does a hydrophone collect data and why is useful in a marine environment? How would a hydrophone array help you better understand your research question? Include relevant examples of other things learned using hydrophones.

Role is mostly defined and questions are mostly clear. Role or question is not clear, though it is implied. Role and question are not clear. Explains or demonstrates a hydrophone and how it collects data. Covers key components of the technology, showing a basic understanding of how data is collected. Mostly covers key components and has key, but not all features of how data is collected. Some key elements of the technology are missing, including how data is collected. Major elements are missing, and how data is collected is not explained. Clearly explains what we have learned using hydrophones including at least three relevant examples. Mentions three or more relevant, clear examples that lead the audience to a better understanding of hydrophones. Mentions less than three relevant examples that help the audience shape a better understanding of hydrophones. Provides one example that might help the audience understand the hydrophone. Does not provide examples or examples are irrelevant and or confusing.
