The 7th grade students in Mrs. Greene’s science class did research dealing with a specific element from the periodic table. After finding the information, the students created websites using the iWeb program. Through their websites, they communicated the information they discovered using first person narratives, as if they were the element. The students used critical thinking skills to determine what information they would like to share and how they would share it.
This project also allowed the students to tap into their creativity skills as they worked with the layout of the webpage and finding ways that they could personify their researched element. Students found and added music segments that were related to their element and wrote original poems about their element.
The finished websites were collected on one webpage where all the students would have access, creating a “social network” type site for elements.
