The Ocean Project In the first quarter of Grade
6 students study the topic of water. In Social Studies we look
at the ocean crisis, overfishing, pollution, the world's water
and so on, and at the same time in Science we do experiments with
water.
In 1996, for the first time, students also had four periods
of week of Information Technology, where they were taught information
literacy and research skills as well as computer literacy. Students
spent some time in the classroom, some time in the library and
some time in the computer lab. Our first major research topic
was entitled The Ocean Project. Students had to choose
a topic to do with water, and had to look at the topic from both
a science and social studies point of view. Here is a report on
Icebergs and Glaciers. produced by two of the students.
