Earth Day Photo Contest
Photo Contest Supplemental Questions
You must answer these questions as part of your submission.
During the week of Earth Day (April 22), be part of a unique national effort to capture our changing world.
Anytime from Tuesday April 22 through Tuesday April 29, take a photograph of something that is changing in your local environment.
It could be a change occurring in your backyard, outside your school, in a local park, or off in the distance toward the horizon. Then, research and write a scientific explanation (400 words or less) that answers the following questions:
•
What is the change taking place in your photograph?
•
What may be causing the change?
•
Was the change expected?
•
How might the change impact surrounding areas, including people?
•
How might this picture look different in the future?
This contest is open to all U.S. students in grades 5-8.
Entries must be received by email or postmarked by May 9, 2008.
