Project Based Science

 

To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition.     -John Dewey

Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand.

Objectives

Provide students with a "hands-on" experience in all of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts that build group cooperation and critical thinking skills by working in real-world scenarios.

Project Based

The work for this class is project based, meaning the class will be student led.  During the class, students will be expected to collaborate, organize their own work and manage their time in order to complete the tasks.  There will be individual assessments and culminating projects for each unit.  The assessments will be based on the concepts and skills required to complet each of the projects.   The assessments and projects will be graded using a rubric which will be given to the students prior to the work.
