Ski to Sea: Around the World

How are cultures shaped by geography?

Bellingham Schools Research Investigation

 

Planning
Develop your information-seeking strategies.

Now it is time to plan how your team will work together, what resources you will need, and how you will gather your information. Decide how you will share jobs.

To answer the essential questions you will need to research and answer some specific questions.

Open the SKI TO SEA CHART.  Save the chart as directed by your teacher. The questions below are some questions to get you started. Add more questions to your chart that you think will be useful for your investigation. Notice these are the same questions that are on your chart.

  • What are the specific legs of the Bellingham Ski to Sea race?
  • What athletes are needed for the race?
  • What are the lengths of each leg of the race? 
  • What makes a reasonable length for each leg of the race?  (What could an athlete actually do that would be a challenge but would not be impossible?)
  • What geographic features are required to create a similar race?

What other questions can you think of? Add them to the Ski to Sea Chart and save.

Look at these rubrics to see the expectations for this project.
