Community based organizations contribute to their investigations that in turn are shared with family and other classes on the World Wide Web. Collect and analyze data. Interpret how research affects their lives. Post findings to their computer journal and the Internet. Community links encourage students to look beyond the printed page for answers when they interview and interact with visiting professional and amateur scientists.
Special emphasis is on the school garden and orchard.
In June, students, family members, and community participants gather in their beloved orchard to celebrate the life process. Students develop strong communication skills by demonstrating the relationship between good science and good writing.
