Hello Families! Here are the home projects for the remainder of the year.
1st grade:
| Science | Science | For the STEM Fair home project, we will ask that your child create a science presentation. We want to treat our STEM Fair not as a general “Science Fair,” but rather a celebration of science. Students will research and present on a scientist. This science celebration presentation is not limited to just a tri-board. Some ideas include, but are not limited to:
Poster or tri-fold board |
Week of February 3 |
| Zoology | Vertebrates | Students will be assigned a specific category of vertebrate animal (fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, or mammal). The following are things they will be expected to cover in their presentation:
Provide an example of a specific animal in the category they have been assigned (e.g. salmon, seagull, frog, llama, etc.) Provide interesting facts about their specific animal. Describe the general characteristics of the type of animal (e.g. Feathers, warm blooded, lays eggs, etc.). |
March 16-20 |
| Physiology | Nutrition/ Hygiene | Students will demonstrate the importance of hygiene and good nutrition by presenting on a certain area. Some examples could be but aren’t limited to why specific food groups, oral hygiene, exercise, and sleep are important to our overall health and care of our bodies. | April 20-24 |
2nd grade:
| Science | For the STEM Fair home project, we will ask that your child create a science presentation. We want to treat our STEM Fair not as a general “Science Fair,” but rather a celebration of science. Students will do a project using the scientific method. This science celebration presentation is not limited to just a tri-board. Some ideas include, but are not limited to:
Poster or tri-fold board |
Week of February 3 |
| Zoology | Invertebrates | Student will need to research the category of invertebrate animal that they have been assigned. The following are things they will be expected to cover in their presentation:
How it looks– its physical characteristics |
March 16-20 |
| Physiology | Senses | Students will research one of the senses of our bodies (sight, touch, taste, hearing, smelling), the organs involved, the function, and why it’s important to our body. | April 20-24 |
3rd grade:
| Science | For the STEM Fair home project, we will ask that your child create a science presentation. We want to treat our STEM Fair not as a general “Science Fair,” but rather a celebration of science. Students will present on either simple machines or forces of motion. This science celebration presentation is not limited to just a tri-board. Some ideas include, but are not limited to:
Poster or tri-fold board |
Week of February 3 | |
| Zoology | Biome of Europe(South side)/ Africa(North Side) | Students will research a biome that is located on the continent their class is studying for the second semester. They will need to include information about the climate(weather, temperature, etc.), natural resources, people, plants, and animals. They should also have a picture of a map that shows where this biome is located. | March 16-20 |
| Physiology | Body Systems | Student will be assigned a specific body system to research and present. The following are things they will be expected to cover in their presentation:
Explain what this system does for your body? (What is its job?) |
