Fourth grade students learned more about how they can use their unique ideas to create their own innovations. Students were able to learn more about the water cycle, weather standards, and the ongoing problems associated with them. Using the design process, students were able to collaborate together and use their skills, research, and knowledge about these problems to create their own innovations. Students designed and displayed their prototypes to the Drew Community and were given feedback from their peers, experts, etc. Students used their feedback to create their final products to submit and showcase at the Drew Science Fair. 

Whisper Walk

Innovations

Students participated in a Whisper walk in which in which they observed pictures and reflected on original products and processes and the changes that have been made in more recent innovations, students will record their thoughts and observations on notecatchers.
Groups collaborated to invent or innovate a product using the design process. They delivered an oral presentation along with a digital presentation that explains each step of the design process along with an explanation of the real-life connection. Their innovation and presentations will be refined and finalized for entry in the Drew Science Fair

Fourth grade explored the interrelationship between organisms and their roles in the ecosystem. During the field trip to the Zoo Atlanta, Students were able to see and learn more about various animals, their habitats, and their defense mechanisms. Students were able to research and create models about various organisms and their roles in the ecosystem for the Fourth Grade exhibit. Finally, students were able to take their research and created visually displays, and models informing the community about the effects of change that can impact an ecosystem.
