Science Unit Ideas

1. Planets. I would have the students work in small groups to prepare a webpage on one of the planets. Each group would be responsible for information on the planets as well as photos.

2. Water Cycle. Students would need to make a kidspiration model of the water cycle using pictures. They will also have to write a word document explaining their cycle. The pictures will have to be digital photos taken by them. I will be doing this project.

3. Bidomes. I would have students write to scientists at the Montreal Biodome to see what a biodome is, how they work, and any other information they could aquire.

4. Laws of Motion. I would have students create podcasts on the various laws of motion. They would have to present the information they gathered along with diagrams of how the laws work.

5. Clouds. I would have students make a podcast about specific type of cloud. I would also have students keep a blog for a month to keep track of the clouds they observed for a 20-minute period every day. The podcast will include photos of the clouds they observed.
