A project for the collaborative chart
"Dissections"
http://modelsofexcellence.eleducation.org/projects/dissections-emily
It is an interesting project which combine the teaching and learning of science and arts.
SS could carry out the specific experimentation (dissections of the animals) following the scientific method, guided by these questions which help them to create their hyphotesis and then, after the experince to draw conclusions.
How do living things change and adapt to a dynamic environment?
How are all living things on Earth connected?
What are similarities and differences between humans and other animals?
How do different organisms meet their biological needs in order to survive?
SS work Art in context, the investigation of scientific facts through a hands-on experience. They could work in groups so that they can create their scientific journals.
Audiovisual input is included through the videos about the animals that children watch to get informed about them. In addition, creativity is involved, as pupils use their own ideas to represent in different ways their work on the scientific journals.
"Beekeeping"
They can learn about what is an endangered animal, the causes and effects of this danger, the importance of bees, in this case, to our lives.
SS learn how to buy and sell things, they create their own bussiness, thus, Maths are presented along this project.
Maths, Science, and Arts are implied in this experience. Furthermore, it is connected to the real world, as it show SS a real current problem and make them reflect about it. Second language communicative skills are also promoted, since children try to raise people awareness of this environmental problem.
This is a really motivational project. Learners create their own products and make money with that.
