Grant Project for 2008

Goal/Aim: I plan to complete a unit on inquiry to interphase biology, environmental science, and physical science using an assessment using video making.
I plan to use the leaf activity to monitor how photosynthesis works and relate it to the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere and the Carbon sink problem in relationship to global warming. The possible factors that influence it through the watershed activity for environmental science and the strawberry activity for the DNA project in biology.

I will purchase a flip camera and fast plant and syringes to accomplish this goal.

I expect my students to use the inquiry method and they will be assessed in the their findings through making a short video. I will also use the smelling and senses activities as a warm ups.

I expect that we will all learn and explore creative ideas as we go through the process. I hope they will create new stories that will help them understand how they think and how they continue to learn.
