Out of the six projects we looked at in class I had two clear favorites. The one I chose to discuss involves 2nd graders learning about how to stay healthy. Here is a link to the project.
This particular project appealed to me because I was impressed how much this group of 2nd graders were able to learn in such a relatively short amount of time. They were able to reach the higher levels of Bloom's Cognitive domain, synthesis and evaluation, through their involved exploration of the ideas. The project integrated medical health with physical exercise, nutrition, and the human body. I loved the end of the project where they set up a "state-of-the-art wellness center" in their classroom. They even sold healthy snacks for a profit and were then able to donate that money, therefore, also learning about giving and generosity.Print Page in IE
