Summary
Students will collaborate with at least one partner (chosen by the teacher) using their choice of technology/materials to create a model demonstrating an understanding of key life science concepts. The topics were specifically chosen because they are topics many students still struggle with. The models (movies, pixies, flipcharts, etc.) will be used for further study by my classroom and possibly by other third grade classrooms on our classroom blog. http://blogs.henrico.k12.va.us/meadesclass/
