Meets
ESLR Thinking Creatively, Analytically, and Independently
One of the performance expectation in Grade 7 Earth Science was to develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems. Students needed to show how the energy from the sun and the force of gravity drives this cycle.
To demonstrate understanding, students were given a choice between creative thinking, or independently solve a challenge that requires knowledge of the water cycle.
For the creative project, students created comic strips, wrote autobiographies as a raindrop on a journey, performed voice recordings, documented their life as a raindrop in a journal, made stop-motion videos etc. Here are a couple of creative digital products: a stop-motion video, and a voice-recording of a raindrop on an exciting adventure.
For the challenge, students had to figure out how to obtain drinkable water while stranded in a humid forest, with nothing but a tarp and a can of beans. Here's a video created by a student, who went beyond what was required, to demonstrate his problem solving skills in a creative way.
