My Project

To end our Inheritance and Traits science unit, we're adding a STEAM project. Students will be designing, planning, sketching and creating a creature out of clay, which will show their understanding of traits. Due to the fact that this cohort of students completed kindergarten online, through molding clay they can use the extra practice with hand-strengthening activities which will support their fine motor skills. It's also really fun and makes science more engaging. Students will also be making a shoebox habitat for their creature. Please help us complete this project!
