Mini-Project: Get Your Recycle On!

So... we were going to do a bit of research about recycling and create posters that encouraged others to recycle but the kids had other plans! The idea grew into a mini-project that took about a week to complete. Some did make posters but others created Boards in Discovery Education's Board Builder, others created technology projects, and we even had a short play. Some of the projects are featured below:

MA, LM and LS created this Prezi about recycling as a part of our mini-project.

Everyday Mysteries

We are starting to dig into our Wonder projects! At my Library of Congress website training this week, one of the other participants came across this cool resource in the Kids & Families section.

 

Here's a bit about what you'll find there:

"Did you ever wonder why a camel has a hump? If you can really tell the weather by listening to the chirp of a cricket? Or why our joints make popping sounds? These questions deal with everyday phenomena that we often take for granted, but each can be explained scientifically.

Everyday Mysteries will help you get the answers to these and many other of life's most interesting questions through scientific inquiry. In addition, we will introduce you to the Library of Congress' rich collections in science and technology.

All of the questions presented on this Web site were asked by researchers and answered by librarians from the Library's Science Reference Services."
