Let us take a look back at the project objectives and student successes.

• • In Science class, student inquiry and interest drove personal investigations into the relationship between animal and habitat.

  • Learners were guided in Technology class, to be knowledge constructors who employ effective research strategies; evaluate the accuracy, credibility, and relevance of information, and use digital tools to curate information into collections of meaningful conclusions.

  • Students also successfully interpreted and summarized research into paragraphs for English class, further supporting literacy development learned in Technology class.

  • In Art class, learners analyzed and interpreted animal characteristics to create scientific illustrations, art in the service of science. Artwork goes beyond the complex language of science and allows for the creator and the viewer to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. 

Our interdisciplinary approach engages learners with material authentically and teaches skills aligned with the way they will be used in the real world.
