Your multi-media presentation will answer the above question by focusing on the following:

•     the types of rocks, minerals and metals used to produce your chosen 21st-century object

•     the rock cycle (this could be a diagram)

•     the environmental impacts from obtaining the metals, including harmful by-products

•     an energy cost comparison between manufacturing and recycling the waste

•     recommendations for reducing the impacts on the environment from obtaining and disposing of 21st-century objects

Use the following steps to support your research for this report.

Step 1.     Select a 21st-century object such as a television, computer or mobile phone to research.

Step 2.     Research and answer the questions below (next page). You will need to submit your research notes and bibliography (evaluation of website).

Step 3.     Select key words from your research notes (up to 30).

Step 4.      Discuss and present your findings to the research questions in the format of a multi-media presentation.
