Some of you may have heard that we have begun a sixth grade Biome project in science and computers. WE HAVE!!! Our students have begun researching and assembling information and pictures in computer and in science class about different biomes around the world. They were able to choose the biome that they were most interested in and are currently working with Mrs. Dight and myself to find out more about their climate, weather, animals, plants, and distinct features that make their biomes so important to the organisms that live there. This is an interdisciplinary project that will be graded in computer class as well as science class.
This is a very exciting project that we worked on last year and due to it's success we are continuing it this year using new and improved technology. These projects will be presented in science upon their completion. These projects are being worked on in school so that there is no worry about program compatibility between school and home. Although the students are encouraged to find pertinent information at home and bring it or the web page they found it on to school, they are not to work on their projects at home so there are no problems with the transfer of information.
