Weekly Blog - 2/1 - 2/5 - Ob River
Summary: This week we started our Rivers Project. My group and I chose the Ob River, a river that isn't that popular, but is still very important. I found many interesting facts on the economical significance of the Ob River, as well as the features of the Ob. I now know that the Ob River can produce up to 250 billion kilowatts, even though there are only three hydroelectric power stations built on the river. The importing and exporting of important goods occur along the Ob River. The supply of wheat for Russia is mainly produced in the area of the southern Ob basin. Wheat is not the only thing that blossoms by the Ob, about 2/3 of the country's oil and gas comes from the tiaga and tundra, near the Ob. As well as that, I know that the Ob empties into the Kara Sea of the Arctic ocean and the Ob-Irtysh is the main tributary coming from the Ob River and has a length of 3,362 miles. I also know that the mouth of the river is known as the Gulf of Ob and the Ob River is the fourth largest river in the world. Throughout the week I learned so much about the Ob River, specifically the features and economical significance, and I can't wait to continue the project.
SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information: My group and I researched the Ob River, to be more specific, the environmental, cultural and economical significance of the river. This information helped us and will continue to help us answer the big question our project has to answer, Why is the Ob River important? We will use this research to show our audience what makes the Ob River so special and why should people help conserve the river. My group and I worked efficiently and completed our research because we divided up the work. We each chose the topic that would fit us best, Enya- Cultural Significance, Alexia-Environmental Significance, and Me- EconomicalSignificance. Since the topics were very suitable to our personality we progressed farther in finding useful information. I think this technique worked very well for our group and I will definitely try this in future projects.
