This activity was a bit challenging to me at first because i had not recently taught any project so i had to examine my classroom topic in order to get something ff the ground.
one project idea that i like was done by ms caine.
This topic to me is not a topic that teachers normally pick up and run with. i like this topic because it actively engages students in a simple but in depth Experiment in other to find out whether or not mould grows more quickly in warm conditions than in cold.
students process skills are been developed in this project since they are required to apart of whats going on. some Process Skills: planning, hypothesizing, observing, recording, measuring, explaining and evaluating are initiated.
In this project the students of grade six wanted to test the hypothesis that mould grows more quickly in warm conditions than in cold. They decided to use similar slices of banana for their experiment. They knew that some moulds are dangerous so they placed the banana into closed plastic bags which they could throw away afterwards.
