This ETP is primarily focuses on the collaborative process of students learning information and teaching that information to their group (jigsaw) to establish background information for an experiment using the scientific method.
Students will learn how to research and identify reliable internet resources. To show their skills, the students will create a culminating project about a California region. They will collaborate in an assigned group to find information using focused questions.
My ETP is hands-on Science Unit (5 Lessons-All About Water ) that will help students develop a greater understanding, deeper knowledge and appreciation of water and its integral part of life on this planet.
