Chromebooks will enable my 3rd/4th grade Science students to engage in rigorous, real world learning experiences. Our science curriculum, Amplify, centers around solving scientific phenomena. Students spend weeks reading texts and gathering information through online simulations, in order to solve a real life problem associated with NGSS aligned standards. Without the ability for the students to collaborate on the curriculum's online simulations and application sorts, my students are unable to experience the true hands-on, tactile, real life aspect of the investigation. Chromebooks would also allow my students to learn to take agency and authority over online research for each phenomenon. They will be able to collaborate and to publish an expository piece which will entwine writing into our science curriculum. My goal is to engage my students in a year long simulation/problem based study of the cause of the disappearance of the peregrine falcon population worldwide after World War II. This year long investigation requires online simulations, videos and data models provided through a partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry. This year long study will result in an educational fair put on by the students. The Chromebooks will allow them to create slide shows, to present video presentations, to record mini Ted Talks, and to publish writing to share with our entire school community. The Chromebooks would benefit my Citizen Science after school club. We will continue the students' work from last year to create a campaign to protect the grey wolf through simulations, online data sources, videos, and communication with scientists. I would like the students to create a website as a platform to educate others. We will also design and email a monthly newsletter to the school community as a social action/awareness activity.
