Help me give my students several 'Who done it?' computer based mysteries to solve while practicing key science standards, such as the scientific method or the water cycle, through a highly interactive and engaging student task.
My 5th graders are all about technology, and they love a good 'Who done it?' I have found several.
Through solving clues by practicing science topics and concepts, then crossing off options from a list based on the meaning of the clues, students practice key science standards, such as the scientific method or the water cycle, through a highly interactive and engaging student task that can be completed within their Google Classroom.
By funding this project, you will be providing my students with valuable, technology based, hands-on learning experiences from TPT that will take abstract scientific concepts and solidify them in my students' minds.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
