Nitty Gritty:
Get your students excited about project based learning in your classroom!
This project can be completed at any time of the year. I like to end my Nature of Science, CER or Scientific Method unit with this amazing and memorable project. The timing is perfect, as we finish around Halloween!
With this editable and printable activity, engagement skyrockets as students learn about famous scientists of the past. I encourage my kiddos to dress up in period costume and present their learning as if they are the scientist they researched. There are options for the less bold of your students (hand puppets and dolls). Students and parents remember this project for years to come.
Exemplars are included to give your kids a place to start and to get their creative juices flowing. This project can be used for distance learning or in person. It can be easily assigned digitally or on paper.
This assignment is aligned Common Core Writing & Next Generation, Middle Years Program and other International Science Process Skills and Research Standards.
