Project: Frog Quest
School: Indian Creek Middle School
Frog Quest project, which will investigate frog malformation, is
scheduled to begin in the spring of
1999 and is organized as a "Webquest" that will be available to our
seventh grade students on our local Internet server during the first year.
Multiple subject
matter will be involved in this project, such as, Science, Math, Language
Art, Fine Art, Technology Skills, and Media Skills.
A variety of technologies will be integrated into the activities of
this project, such as laptop computer, digital cameras and video cameras,
portable phones and walkie-talkies. Students will use database and
spreadsheet programs to analyze the data,
use word processors and publishing programs to create journals and
newsletters, research information using the WWW, create web presence in
support of the project and use classroom email to communicate with
partners. Finally, students will use technology to
produce their final reports and presentations.
Goals for students to be achieved with this project:
- To give students a chance to practice, participate, and contribute to
a real scientific investigation within their own neighborhoods
- To become aware of the interconnectedness among disciplines in the
solving of problems
- To empower students with technology in the curriculum as they make
connections between academic studies and real life
- To foster pride and ownership in the school and community
