Weird Science Projects (Part 1)
Back in early February, Mark CMG, the owner of Creative Mountain Games, posted a link from his Grymvald Gazetteer to David Maliki’s inspirational “The Zoological Times Table“. I eventually got around to printing out the table. Then I assigned a different hybrid animal to each of my 5th graders along with instructions about how to complete a zoological science project about the assigned animals.
As I get the projects graded and pictures taken of them, I’ll upload the pictures to the site here, which explains the surrounding pictures. Clicking on a picture embiggens it. (I just set a personal record for the number of times I’ve used the word “picture” in a single paragraph.)
That is a fantastic science project. By taking them out of the norm, you are enabling them to think about animals versus just look up facts. Well done!
