Course: To Infinity and Beyond! (5th grade)

Time to

This is where the fun AND the real work begins! Take some time to look through all the questions and "I wonder" statements. Which ones are you most curious about? Choose one and think about a project, investigation or experiment you could develop that would answer the question.

Where do you begin? you may have an idea of what you'd like to further explore, but like one the most difficult parts of a project is GETTING STARTED!

First, decide if you want to:
     *conduct a scientific experiment/investigation or,
     *do a research project

Then, use the resource below to point you in a direction. Be sure to manage your time!

Conducting a scientific experiment

Research Project

Reminder-- a research project does NOT need to be paper. Research means that you delve further into a topic. You may look into lunar habitats, research what it'll take for us to survive there, and create a model of a lunar habitat. Or, you may want to research where other countries are in regards to space travel. Your end product MAY be a research paper, but will also need to include multimedia representaion (look at rubric.)

Think outside the box when you think about a research project-- you don't need to follow tradtional presenataion methods (perhaps you'd like to created a Voicethread or use Scratch to present what you've learned.)
