I am very excited to have started our research projects in grades 2-5. This project has been differentiated for each grade level (2-3/ 4-5) so the standards are being met in each grade.
All of the students are conducting research using the San Diego Zoo website. They have each chosen their own individual animal, and are learning to conduct credible research using sites that have credible sources.
For the younger grades, the websites were given to them for all of the necessary information on the research project.
For the upper grades, the base website was also given, but a few in depth questions that were not provided on the San Diego Zoo website were also asked of them.
For these questions, the students are learning to conduct research using the search engine Kiddle. This allows them to type in the questions and sort through credible websites to find the necessary answers.
This research project is a class based project, and they will have little to no work to do for this at home. I like being able to observe and help the students as we move along in this process :).
They are all doing a very good job with this, and I am impressed with the amount of growth they are displaying in Educational Technology!
If you have any questions regarding the research project, please feel free to contact me at any time!
