This project was developed to enhance existing science curriculum by adding a technology component. The essential question posed in the project is "How does a scientist (student) investigate how a seed becomes a plant?" (Science 21: Science for the 21st Century, Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES) At the end of the unit students will understand the germination process, make observations about the growth of their plants, predict how different growing conditions will affect the plant's growth and share and record their observations. Please note that you may participate either in the Fall of 2002 or the Spring of 2003. Comsewogue Participants: Mrs. Burr's Class, Boyle Road and Mrs. Gardner's Class, Norwood |
Pennies
in Circulation The goal of this activity is to determine what year pennies are in circulation. You will need to gather 100 pennies, from coins that are actually in circulation. These are pennies that you get from you pocket, do not use coins that are stored in a piggy bank, jar or container. Once you have collected 100 pennies, tally the dates on the coins and send the data to me. I will compile the data and present it in a graph. This data will be added to data I collect from my 7th grade classes this fall, and other students through a collaborative internet activity. Thanks for your help. Students will learn how to use a spreadsheet and create graphs from the spreadsheet. An added benefit will be locating where the respondents are from on a map.

Participants must agree to E-mail us at least 6 times during his visit--as soon as he arrives, when he leaves, and at least 4 other times during his stay. The E-mails should include information about your school community, native plants and animals, weather information, landforms, and anything else that you would like to share. We would also like pictures or photos showing some of Owen's activities during his stay. Please do not include students in the photos. The photos or pictures may be sent through E-mail or snail mail. I would like to request that each class add a small item to the plastic bag in Owen's box. A picture, postcard, pencil, or anything small that represents your town would be appreciated. Please label the item that you send so we will know who sent it. It should be sent First Class Priority Mail.
