Science Unit
Weather – This unit will teach kids about the different types of weather there is. It will introduce them to what types of weather occur during the seasons and months as well as were it would be typical to find the weather. The student will focus on Maine weather as their primary part to learn about. The students will choose from a couple of different technologies to display what they have learned. They will use kidspiration, blog, comic life to produce their final project.
Animals- The students will learn about the different types of animals that are found in the sea. They will each choose one animal to focus on and do their final project on. Over the course of the unit, they will also get brief introductions about different animals. Their final project will include them choosing from a web page or frames to demonstrate what they have learned about their animal.
Planets- In this unit the students will learn about the different planets. Each student will choose a planet that they want to focus on learning about. They will then choose to use frames or podcast to demonstrate what they have learned through visuals and audios. They will be responsible for gathering information by themselves, but they may choose partners for their final project and create on together. However, they must both be able to show that they both worked on it.
Earth Layers – The students will learn about the different layers of the earth. They will also learn about what is in those layers and what that indicates about the earth in that area at a particular time. They will use kidspiration to show the different layers of earth and key terms that go with those layers. They will then choose weather they want to use frames or podcast to create an interesting informational about anything they have learned about either the overall or one part of the earth layer to create their final product and demonstrate what they have learned.
Inventions – The students can choose one type of invention they want to learn about. They will then do research on that invention and find out what they can about tit so they will be able to do their final project. Over the course of the unit, I will talk to them about time lines of how times have changed as demonstrated by the various inventions they are learning about. They will then choose to create a web page, podcast, or use frames to create their final project about their invention.
The project that I would like to work on for my unit is the animal one. I really like this idea and want to work on thinking more about what I could do with students and how to make it into a great unit to do. I would like to do this for fourth or fifth grade.

S- animals sounds good- and there are many possibilities, you just need to think next about what you want them to know about the animals next.
