Students created scientific journals during an expedition on evolution. This project gave them the opportunity to have a hands-on exploration of the animal kingdom and create a scientific journal with accurate diagrams and information like the ones kept by Darwin and Da Vinci.
Climate change has been called the defining issue of the next generation. As students grapple with the chemical and physical science associated with how humans are impacting our climate, they have one question: what can we do?
This is a weather book written by a first grader in multiple drafts as a culminating project for the end of the weather unit. The entire class wrote books, and all had drafts and a rubric for their illustrations and stories.
Sixth grade students transferred knowledge about the properties and movement of water through the Earth's hydrosphere and grappled with the content of the hydrosphere on a smaller scale: our local Root Pike Watershed. Students took a deeper look at their watershed: Lake Michigan.
