Tzimapitis

 The 4th grade students of Ms. Tzimapitis class created a multi-faceted research project. This project lasted about 4-5 weeks and was a joint effort with Mrs. Close & Ms. Tzimapitis, and encompassed the " Investigating Ecosystems" Unit of the 4th grade curriculum. The students were placed into groups of three, and given an ecosystem to study. One person in the group was the ecosystem expert, one was the Plants of that ecosystem expert, and finally one was the Animals of that ecosystem expert. Each student used a data/research collection sheet to document their discoveries. The students utilized many of the research techniques they learned throughout the year and found information from a printed Encyclopedia, a non-fiction book, a periodical, a database, and two reliable websites using NetTrekker. The students then created an EMAZE project. They took the information they learned about that ecosystem and created a slide to document some of their favorite findings. They then worked collaboratively to predict the futures of their ecosystem.
