Name: Jennifer Duann

Title/Role in education: Teacher

Grade: 10th

Subject: Biology

Location: Lima, OH

PBL Experience: I did two major projects during my student teaching and field experience. The first was a case study unit on genetics with my 10th grade biology students and the second was a hot air balloon project with my 8th grade physical science students. I'm also writing my master's capstone project on PBL, with data from my middle-schoolers.

Team Resources:

Extra Credit Week 1

*Ask yourself, "What matters most in what we are studying? What might my students really care about in this topic?"

-the interconnectedness of Earth's living systems; what happens in the Gulf does NOT stay in the Gulf!

-the chemical and biological processes that unify diverse ecosystems

-empathy and appreciation for all living creatures regardless of their "usefulness" or cute appeal

*Start compiling a list of skills that can be taught through projects.

Hi Jennifer,
Sounds like you've had some good PBL experience already. I'm imagining the hot air balloon project--sounds great! Did you (or students) document the design process w/photos, videos, etc.?
The Gulf topic is all about systems, isn't it? Should be ripe with science project possibilities. Eager to see where you go!
