My Five Science Unit Ideas

1) My first idea is for a first grade classroom. I would do a unit on weather. For this unit the students would each “research” a part of weather of their choice (rain, snow etc.) They would have to find out where their topic comes from or how it is formed, and then they would have to make a poster on it. They would also have to make an IMovie as a class of each of their topics combined.
2) My second idea is for a third grade classroom. The unit would be on the body. They would each research a part of the body and they would have to create a Kidspiration web relating and exhibiting the research they have done on their topic. The web would contain things like function and abilities.
3) My third idea would be for a unit on rocks in a second grade classroom. For this unit, I would have the students outside studying the rocks around the school. They would find a rock that they want to identify and study. The final project would be making a cartoon on Toondoo about the rock that they chose to study.
4) My fourth idea is for a 7th grade classroom. This unit would be on the environment. They would have to come up with the major environmental problems surrounding their area. Their projects would revolve around solutions to these problems. They would have to e-mail biologists and ecologists to find out possible effects of the problems.
5) My last idea is for a fourth grade classroom on energy. The students, in small groups, would research forms of energy. Their jobs would be to 1) make a presentation that shows that form of energy being used and 2) Make individual comics on ComicLife about the form of energy they chose. This is the idea that I will most likely go with.
