7th Grade Science - Pay it Forward

By Phelana

In Science, we have been focusing on the technology portion of the Pay It Forward project. Students made infographics to depict an important statistic related to their issue. They learned how to use graphics to display the mathematical information and choose/create appropriate images to convey their message. Students then uploaded their infographic and all the research about their topic onto their website designed using Google Sites.

The Pay It Forward culmination is on Tuesday, May 21. There will be snacks provided at 5:45, with official programming beginning at 6:00. Students will be stationed in either the Downstairs Lab, Point Defiance Library, or CMR. Guests will start off in their student’s assigned room (listed below) and will be asked to go through structured rotations of visiting 5 total projects (about 7 minutes per student) and giving feedback. In each rotation, students will be telling you about the root causes of their issue, impacts, stakeholders, and actions to address the root causes. They will share their art piece, spoken word poem, and website. After the structured time (6:45), guests will then be invited to move into the other classrooms to visit other student projects until 7:30. We hope you will come to support our students as they share all that they’ve worked hard to learn and put together!

After Tuesday, we will publish the website link so that you will have the opportunity to see and revisit the work of ALL our 7th grade students.
