  3. Taking a closer look… Technology Research Tools • Use technology to locate information, process data, and report results. Choose technology appropriate for a given task. • Students will possess the ability to use computers to access, evaluate, and synthesize information from a variety of resources. Students will make intelligent choices to answer essential questions and present their information in an effective and efficient manner.

  4. One performance indicator Select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem-solving, and decision-making in content learning. • Students will research the life and work of a famous mathematician using multiple media, in order to create a poster which includes written and visual elements. Students will choose what they feel is an important accomplishment of their mathematician and explain how this accomplishment is relevant to our lives.

  5. Research Underlies All Disciplines • Research is an essential component of all content areas. • Research teaches students how to learn, how to find answers to questions.

  6. Content Area Connections • Mathematics: geometry/architecture, do statistics lie, history of discovery. • Science: biology/visual arts/forensics • Social studies: essential question-driven research • English: issues and controversies

  7. Interdisciplinary Projects • ‘Who gives a dam about water?’ • Science, math, English skills are all used in this multi-disciplinary ecology unit.
