Imagine that you have only ever lived in the arctic, and have never seen a swamp or palm trees. Or, imagine you grew up in the desert and have never seen the ocean, or a lake. Now, imagine that you are thrust into that completely foreign environment. What would you notice? What details would you remember? You will use this perspective to write a two- to three-minute speech, clearly describing the new environment with vivid and imaginative details.

Write out your speech and present it to your friends and family as if they were members of the scientific group.
