In this project students will attempt to determine whether or not the same fresh water macroinvertebrates (organisms that can be seen with a hand lens) will be found in different locations, both around the country and around the world.

Hello,

We're are trying to get a U K partner for a project called "earth care", related to environment, recycling, green house, renewable energies, atmospheric pollution... The aim is to make our students (from 11 to 15) get involved in those project and create a link with a UK school doing the same. We've planned to talk to them only in english (I'm a physic and chimistry teacher, and my collegue associated to the project is an english teacher), and we'd like to find a school doing the same in french. To make students get as far as possible involved in the project, our idea would be to be able to meet (by the way of an exchange?), so that the students could compare their works and associate it to organized visits in the foreign country in relation to the subject (recycling factory, renewable energies...). We've already registered to "etwinning", and are going to do it in "commenius".

Students will find out about the UK , culture, traditions, festivals, by getting in touch with students or teacher from the UK. Through this project we intend to get practice in English for our students.

Our 2nd grade classes are learning about the sun, the moon and weather this year. We thought it would be great to have a relationship with 1 other Northern Hemisphere and two Southern Hemisphere classes throughout the year to compare the length of days, the seasons, the weather, how holidays are celebrated etc. throughout the year.

This project brings together classrooms from around the world. Participants can choose to do a virtual (e-mail/Facebook/Nicenet-based) pen pal exchange or may also do a postal pen pal exchange where letters are sent from one school to another in another country. A facilitator/supporter/cross-cultural communicator will be on-hand to answer any questions you might have and to help make the exchanges go smoothly.

Teachers and classrooms also have the ability to work on projects of their own design, and a staff member of the program will be available to help find a partner to participate in your self-designed program.

Participation in all projects is fun, and we have examples of PowerPoint Presentations that last year's participants produced on our website.

Students will measure the length and width of their classroom using the U.S. Customary System and the Metric System. Using this information they will record the measurement in millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches, feet, and yards. Using this information they will then calculate the area of their classroom. Each classroom will submit their measurements so the information can be compared with other classrooms. Once several schools have submitted their information, the data can be used to create a bar graph showing whose classroom is the biggest.

Students explore possible meanings behind Edvard Munch's painting, "The Scream", and share short stories of what they believe it is about. Students also create their own artwork of "what makes them scream" to share online, and create Art Trading Cards to share through the mail.

This project will use Facebook to facilitate a multi-school internet project for the purpose of posting first-hand accounts of life in different regions of the United States, Canada, Central America, and the Carribbean. Each month, each participating classroom will post on a preselected topic, such as: Describe your school system, or describe how citizens in your country participate in government, or describe the holidays that are celebrated in your region, or describe what you do for entertainment, or describe your favorite foods, or describe the geography of your area. Classrooms with skyping capabilities will meet via skype at the end of the project for a live Q and A session.

I am looking for a class to study either Among the Hidden by Margeret Peterson Haddix or Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit with my 6th grade class. I am hoping to set up a wiki where we can collaborate on ideas and critical issues found in the book.

One Day One World is a collaborative project between classes around the world. Students will share information about various activities in "a day in their life". Students will be able to see how we are similar and different as we live in different parts of the world.

Students will share where they live, what type of housing they live in, what type of clothes they wear, what type of food they eat, what sports they play, and what do they do in their free time. Students will need to be able to share their information electronically using pictures, voicethread, skype, or other webtools as needed.

This project will start on September 1, 2010 and end on December 1. Data will need to be shared every 2 weeks. Prior to the start date of September 1, classes will need to share some information about their location and class.

Students will capture photos or draw pictures to use as inspiration for writing free verse poems. Students will choose their best poem to share in a poetry slam. In preparation for the slam, students will use audio and/or video technology to practice performing their poem.

We are seeking classes to join us in a video conference performance/poetry slam. Students will share their original poems during this video conference. We will have four classes of approximately 20 11-year-old students. We are seeking four partner classes for this project.

Take a tree, some sun, the seasons, and temperature. Mix in technology and extension activities. Add a roomful of smiles and a year full of learning. You’ve got the perfect recipe for a motivating project in which students collect and share information with another class about their environment.

This Internet-based collaborative project will allow your students to share information about the plants, animals and non-living objects found in their schoolyard environment with other students from around the country and the world.

A fun collaborative math, language arts, and technology project for kids everywhere. This project is an invitation for classrooms to have students see how many marshmallows they can fit in their mouth (without chewing & swallowing), and then use each student's results to achieve a final class result showing mean, median, mode, and range. Data will be collected, compared, and displayed.

The 5th grade students at River Ridge are reading the book Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman. If you've had any experience with tornadoes, we invite you to visit our wiki and share your experiences so we can add it to our data. We are interested in finding out where the most tornadoes occur, what size they are, and about the experiences other students have had. We look forward to hearing from you!
