First grade students at West Whitesburg Elementary are using project based learning to discover animal transformations. Students are designing and creating terrariums that will be used to view the lifecycle of butterflies and frogs (and maybe some other insects if possible). We are also using purchased terrariums as models. We are using a document camera to view the different stages of the lifecycle up close. Students have designed journals in which they are recording their learning. Students will then create a presentation to show all that they have learned. These creations will be presented at an open house for school and community members after our tadpoles and caterpillars have transformed!
