5th Grade Science

Students in 5th grade at Perry Lecompton Middle School learned about temperature in various ways. The use of Vernier science equipment aided throughout mulitple lessons. After various teacher-guided labs, students were put into interest groups to design their own inquiry experiment and final project. Inspiration was used to generate lab reports. Students were able to use various resources to create a final project (Avatars, PhotoStory, Flipcharts, Demonstration, etc.)
