Summary:
The Rio Grande River source is located at the Rocky Mountains, south of Colorado. It then flows South East, through New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, making a border between Texas and Mexico, and flowing out of the mouth, located at the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande has some history to it. It was used by several Native American tribes as a water source, and then was explored by two European explorers. After the two European explorers explored the river, the river was given the name: the Rio Grande. In the mid 1800s, The Rio Grande became the border between Texas and Mexico from the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Today, the Rio Grande is used for agriculture and farming (agriculture near the river has made millions of dollars). There are also dams built along the river such as the Elephant Butte Dam.
SP8: Obtain, Evaluate, and Communicate Information:
This week, I obtained data of the Rio Grande (such as its history, structures built near it, economic significances, etc.) by going to many sites including information about the Rio Grande. To ensure that the data that I obtained was correct, I tried finding other sites with the same information my source had. Once at least two or three sites had the same piece of information, I knew that the data I obtained was correct. I communicated the data I obtained with my teammates. I also communicated obtained data through research documents, and our script.
