Over the past two weeks, our Kindergartners have been participating in a project based learning (PBL) experience. Our driving question was, "How can a tiny seed make a big difference in our world?" During this unit, our students learned about plants. They were challenged to think critically about how plants impact our world and if/why plants are something that we need. Throughout these two weeks they learned the needs of plants, patterns in nature (life cycles of plants), how young plants resemble parent plants, how the Earth provides resources for life, and the parts of a plant. They participated in plant activities where these skills were reinforced. Here are some pictures from our special plant celebration snack!

Our Kindergartners then participated in a research project about a specific plant. They worked in small groups to learn about their plant and collect facts about it. Then, they collaborated on a technology project using the app ShowMe. Here are some of the technology presentations that our students created using the ShowMe app:

Dandelion
