Independent Projects

Occasionally students have some time when they are done with their work early, passed out of a topic in math on a pretest, or just have some free time. While they can always read a book or write in their journals, doing a side project can be fun. Some students even like to do extra projects at home.  The hard part is thinking of an idea and how to present it. Here are some ideas.

Your projects DO have to have some writing unless it's building or demonstrating for science, but even then you have to be ready to talk about it and use science vocabulary.

BEST IDEA:  Pick something we are doing in class! 

EXAMPLES:

   Physics your thing?  Build a catapult, do a report (book form or poster) 

                                  on the biggest roller coasters, write a song about 

                                  kinetic and potential energy!
