GR K-2Students
observe and record the daily weather conditions and share their findings with
global partners. Students compare local businesses, schools, and public places to those of other communities by visiting and researching various places in their town and then sharing information with classes from other communities. Students will examine squares in their schoolyard to observe what living and non-living items they find. They share this information in a collaborative database online. Additionally, they share their observations with another school located in another state or country. | GR 3-5A group of students want to know
about the kind of playgrounds that kids at other schools have to play on. They wondered if the location and environment
had any impact on their playground designs.
Students create a global project to find the answer to the question,
"What are school playgrounds like in other places and how does the
environment impact the structures and design of their playground?" As part of a Vermont Studies unit,
students collaborate with another Vermont classroom to research the existing
Vermont state symbols, create an article to update the symbols information on
the Vermont State Symbols Wikipedia page, and make recommendations for
potential new state symbols. Students participate in the yearlong "Journey South and Monarch Watch" program, tracking Monarch butterflies from Vermont to the butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico, while collaborating with other students around North America. | GR 6-8During a four-week
collaboration students from around the state will work together to create an
interactive Google Earth map of Vermont. The map will include information about
the geography of each region of the state delivered in a multimedia
format. for Mills Riverside Park Students
at Browns River Middle School work with experts from the University of Vermont
and the State of Vermont Department of Natural Resources to research animal and
plant life, geology, pond and stream ecology or other scientific areas of
interest as they study science and park stewardship at Mills Riverside Park.
The final product of their study is a collection of digital field guides for
visitors that can be downloaded to a digital device and referred to during a
park visit. |
