Students create a digital gallery of images from the different models accompanied by audio files of the interviews. Students are familiar with the use of computational models as tools to describe and predict real-world phenomena.
World Languages – 4th Grade
Students team with another class in a target language country to identify and compare endangered species in both countries. Using basic information in the target language, the students collaborate to produce a multimedia informational presentation for their peers.
