Science- Space Research

This week for science we finished up our space unit with a fun research project! The kids were placed into small groups and each given a topic (a planet, constellations, black holes, meteors etc.). Then they had to read a few books on their topic, pull out the most important details, and write each detail on a notecard. I am always so amazed by their ability to work together and delegate tasks!

 

Once the research was done, it was time to make posters! They had a lot of freedom with this, so it was really fun to see how each of them turned out. Each group created a title, wrote down their ten facts, and added some kind of visual aid.

 

They turned out great, learned even more about space, and it was a great way to practice skimming for important details and communicating as a team! We hung each poster in the hallway for the rest of the school to enjoy!
