As a group, we showed our understanding of geothermal energy; and the pros and cons surrounding this energy source. In conclusion, geothermal energy is a sustainable and renewable energy source which is really effective if the production plants are located in prime locations. BC would benefit from this energy source since we have many potential energy production locations here. Here is the google slides presentation we created.

In this project, we discuss the causes of climate change and the effects it has on society. Overall I feel our group demonstrated a great understanding on the topic, using appropriate examples and offering manageable solutions to these problems.
Many groups presented a specific type of energy production. Here is my order of which ones I find are the best as a sustainable energy, based off of the presentations.
Solar - It is already used so much around the world - Can be used in most parts of the world - Affordable - Takes a lot of space which is a problem - Can be set up on roofs which is beneficial for infrastructure Wind - It is a resource that is easy accessible - Affordable - Space Efficient - It is expensive at first Hydro - Water makes up about 80% of the earth, so it is easily accessible - Clean, and does not produce gas emissions - Space efficient, because the turbine stays under water Tidal - No negative environmental impact - Easy to maintain, but costly in the beginning - Reliable/Predictable - Water makes up about 80% of the earth, so it is easily accessible Geothermal - It is a renewable energy source since the heat from the Earth is practically infinite - It can be very expensive in the beginning - If enough money is put into the production plants, then it is valuable - Does not harm the planet As a group we created a digital blueprint of John Oliver, a 3D digital model, and a physical structure. Some group members also made mini sketches of different rooms around the school. In this presentation it includes all of the above as well as information on sustainability, amenities, and seismic adaptions. Here is the presentation:
This is a group project I did along with Gurpartap and Aaren. We researched the Utah Capitol State building and how they improved it by adding seismic features such as the base isolation system. Here is our presentation:
We also created a display of how the base isolation system works. Here is a digital demonstration as well as the structure we build to show an in-class demonstration.
Here is the model of the vehicle I designed to travel to the centre of the Earth. It's purpose is for research, and complications such as heat and pressure have been accounted for.
After reading over the 2019 VSB LRFP we were assigned with coming up with 3 questions, 2 points for and 2 points against consolidation/closure, and 1 personal viewpoint. Here are the PDF's including these.

For this project, Lucas and I partnered up to create a outline for a possible field trip our class could go on this year. This project would have to consist of educational rationale and have activities which are fun and cool to experience. Here is the presentation:
Here is my group's "5 Themes of Geography Project". In my group, the members consisted of Emily, Lucas, and myself.
