Proejct based learning holds the key
to incorporating critical skills into your science curriculum,
including information and computer technology, collaboration,
writing skills, and critical thinking. What's more, project based
learning can help you incorporate these skills seemlessly. Examine
technology-rich Unit Plans from Intel Education by
clicking here. You can use most of these plans right away, or
as models for your own planning. I've used three of the following
projects in my own classroom. They are some of the most well
though-out projects I've found!

With the jam-packed schedules of today's
families, why would either a student or a parent want to add one more
major activity? Clearly, any school project assigned to a student
should meet a stringent test for usefulness. Surprising to some, a
science fair project is one of the best learning experiences a student
can undertake. And, if it is taken seriously, it can be an excellent
way to earn significant prizes, qualify for scholarships, and
distinguish a college application.
