Science Inquiry Based Project- Hazardous Weather

We are working with grade 2, targeting science related standards of weather and incorporating PBL with it. The project will require the teacher to provide background knowledge to the class concerning the issue - snow and it’s effects. The students then will use this knowledge to brainstorm their ideas in how they will present their conclusions. Students may research salt and it’s benefits with the road, the best line of travel to reach the school, etc. There are a lot of options for students to be creative, and requires intense thinking. The students will also use this knowledge in the real-world, which is important too. Students will present their conclusions based on evidence at  the end of a couple days work with a poster or slideshow.
