We wanted to create a project to help foster a love of science around the globe. |
 |
|
 |
We wanted to share expertise, awe and wonder. |
|
 |
We wanted students to hypothesize, predict, analyze and enjoy it all |
| Students also collaborated, gained computer skills, developed web design and
cartooning skills and explored
new software. |
| Students
used email and online chats to access each other and experts in fields
of science. They also to produce resources for a world wide audience. |

Cindy's entire fourth
grade class participated in organizing the experiments and writing the scripts for the web page. They also drew cartoons, scanned them and painted them on the computer. They had help making their web pages. Daniel, Kevin, Nerea and Juan did an experiment about surface tension using soap. This experiment can be found in the Science Fair Readers' Theater. Pablo and Manuel worked together on the submarine experiment in the Under Pressure script. Paula, Paloma and Sara prepared the separating colors experiment in the Science Fair script. Jose Carlos, Alex and Eduardo did two experiments on air pressure that appear in Under Pressure. Anna, Miguel Angel and Carlos made some stalagmites in the script called A Little CO2. Claudia, Neus, Madalena and Belen worked on the ice and salt experiment in The Science Fair. Laura and Aisling prepared the experiment called If the Egg Fits. Sofia and Elena modeled a fire extinguisher for us in A Little CO2. They all did a great job. Many thanks to the Australian and U.S. students for reading our scripts and making suggestions. |
