As your group begins this project for The Skyscraper Museum, the museum wants you pick one of the top ten buildings to highlight with extra interest grabbing information and then create a timeline/heightline of the top 10 skyscrapers to compare "your" building to the others on the list. Your display will a series of graphs (bar, line and scatter plot) to compare the heights of the top 10 buildings, a map or Google Earth tour to highlight the top 10 building's locations, as well as a ThingLink or Piktochart poster to combine and highlight these your building and the other top 10 buildings (including pictures, titles and basic information arranged in a visual stimulating design) to share with the world.
Step 1:
Group Research using note sheet on 'top ten tallest buildings'

Step 2:
Group chooses a building from list to highlight in museum exhibit, telling Mr. Robinson (1st come, 1st served with completed note sheets)
Step 3:
After choosing building, assign roles to accomplish these tasks is essential to completing this project in a timely manner. Assign these roles to your group members:

- Mathematician: Use Online Chart Tool to create a bar graph and a line graph and/or a scatter plot (2 charts in total) to highlight the heights and compare the top 10 tallest buildings. Please email your graphs to [email protected] when complete. ** you may ask Mr. Robinson for Poster Board to create a non-digital charts.
- Geographer: Use Maps of the World and ThingLink (username: [email protected] , Password: webquest) to create a map of your building (within the country) and then a world or region map comparing it's placement to some the other top 10 tallest buildings (at least 5 from the list), highlighting cities and countries around the world. **You may use Maps of the World to print and create a non-digital map project, using markers or sticker to highlight the placement of your building and others around the world.
- Researcher / Graphic Artist: Use Prezi (Username: [email protected] , Password: webquest) to create a digital media presentation. Your job is add at least 5 other 'interesting' facts (use the Researcher Note sheet to help you) about your building and to create the background, theme, add pictures and setup basic information for your groups poster/presentation. You will also help the other roles place their pieces and information into the Prezi for the final presentation. **we will take pictures of non-digital items to add to your presentation, or you can incorporate them into your presentation other ways. ALL ROLE PRODUCTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN FINAL PROJECT.
