Science PBL (Project Based Learning)

Our Class Project

We have been studying animals in our class for several weeks.  We have discussed animal classification.  In addition, we discussed what "endangered" means.  Our class wanted to do something to help the endangered animals here in North Carolina.  We went to the media center and researched the endangered animals living here in North Carolina.  We discovered a lot of species that are endangered.

My class wanted to help endangered animals.  We decided we would make fall/Halloween crafts out of recycled products at home and sell them at our upcoming fall festival.   They made some wonderful crafts and we sold them for $2.00 each at the festival.  We raised $50.00, so we will be adopting "Miracle" a zebra at the NC Zoo in Asheboro.   The students are so excited!  I am so glad that even these young students see the need to protect their environment by recycling and want to protect animals.
