Building A Watershed

Submitted by Diane OFee-Powers on Thu, 07/24/2008 - 10:50am.

I enjoyed being in Ms. Odom's class today! I applaud her for having the energy & creativity in teaching 8 years worth of science in 1 school year to prepare her students for the PSSA.

Today's activity was a perfect example of integrating environmental science, biology, physical science, and storytelling. The questions in the Whatzzzup-stream sheet provides the students with the chance of answering analysis questions, (higher order thinking questions). In the conclusions, the students write a paragraph about how water collects in a watershed. This is a good example of writing across the curriculum. They can use this as an Expository Writing assignment.

We enjoyed the storytelling portion of our watershed & I know the students will enjoy this portion of the lesson!
