Math • 1.02 Develop fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction through 9,999 using: • Strategies for adding and subtracting numbers. • Estimation of sums and differences in appropriate situations. • Relationships between operations. • Science • 02 Observe and describe how environmental conditions determine how well plants survive and grow in a particular environment. • Social Studies • 2.02 Analyze similarities and differences among families in different times and in different places. • 3.02 Describe how individuals, events, and ideas change over time.
Project Overview • After participating in a field study to the Bostic Lincoln Center, the students will be heterogeneously divided into groups of 4. • Each group will be responsible for creating a bio-cube. • Using Power Point, each student will select, research, and design a face on the bio-cube. Specific guidelines will be provided. • The group as a whole will be responsible for creating a title “bio-face” (top) and works cited “bio-face” (bottom). • Each group will give an oral presentation of their bio-cube. (The individual members will present their “face”.) • A project rubric will be used for assessment.
Science Bio-Face • Think about our hike to see Abraham Lincoln’s birth place. What types of plants did you notice? Were there any insects or animals? How about water or sunlight? • On this face of the Bio-Cube create a graphic organizer in mywebspiration.com, listing what conditions in the environment help the plants thrive and survive here. • On an index card create 2 questions about the Science information you discovered. Place these inside of your group Bio-Cube.
Math Bio-Cube Timeline Topics to choose from 1-Bostic Community 2-Abraham Lincoln life before becoming President 3-Abraham Lincoln life as President • Use the internet to research your chosen topic. • Record the data in a word document. • Use the link provided to put it in a horizontal or vertical timeline format. * Include two math questions from the information you found through your research to add to the inside of the bio-cube.
Social Studies Directions • Create a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the Bostic Community in the 1800’s and today. • Copy and Paste your Venn Diagram in power point. • Print and cut your power point page and glue to one face on your group’s bio-cube. • Write two questions on index cards that can be answered using your Venn Diagram. • You can use the following to create a Venn Diagram • http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/venn • Microsoft Word
Language Arts Directions • Research the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. • Using Power Point create the Language Arts face to the bio-cube. • On your bio-cube face include at least 7 interesting facts that you learned about Lincoln. • Write two questions on index cards about your Language Arts bio-face.
