Sharing Our Learning

We are in our 3rd Case Study, Garden Organisms.  Students are researching ladybugs, bees and butterflies.  Students have been collaborating in small groups to learn about the physical features and the life cycle of each of these garden organisms.   Students have been reflecting on how these garden organisms help our garden thrive.  

This week, I gave each student the charge of creating something to share their learning.  

Students collaborated to make a bee hive to teach others the importance of the pollen, nectar, queen bee and drone bees.

Students could work alone, in partnerships or in small groups.  Students were in charge of the creation process.

 Some students collaborated to create a garden with plants (to include petals, leaves and roots) plus important garden organisms.

This student worked alone to show the importance of the ladybug to eat harmful aphids (the dots on the green dominoes).

I was amazed at the creativity and important facts each group shared.  Our entire crew learned so much about these garden organism through these creations.
