the animals up close and personal and to learn all about them. BUT, what do you

project, students research and collect a list of interesting numerical facts
and graphs that describe Lake Champlain.
Student groups then select one topic to identify trends and make a
prediction about the lake from the data they have collected.
Students learn how and why leaves lose their colors in the fall in Vermont. They create a 'Fall Into Color' wiki about the different changing leaves around the world and invite students from around the world to collaborate on the project. | GR 6-8Student

interactive reports that connect the information they have gathered with the
primary and secondary resources from which it was taken. Personal Learning Projects Middle school students in grades 6-8 research self-selected topics of interest using a variety of print and electronic resources. Students learn how to develop focus questions and research plans. Each student configures and maintains a blog to collect and organize information, obtain feedback, and to present their research findings. Students communicate with experts in the field about their selected topics via email, face-to-face interviews, or videoconferencing. Feedback is provided to students from teachers, field experts, and peers through the comments feature of a blog. Students learn about the research process, including strategies for finding and evaluating materials.
Students in a middle school class became very concerned
about the H1N1 flu virus, its impact on children in their age group, and the
media attention to the vaccination being offered at their school. As a
result, they decide to do research on this disease. They share the results of
their research through posters placed around the community, at the local
hospital, in pediatricians' offices, and through multimedia presentations
shared on the Internet. |
