The document describes a kindergarten science project called The Down the Drain Project that would be implemented using iPads. The project addresses standards around using tools and instruments to observe and measure objects. Students would collect water usage data in the classroom and at home using electronic scales. They would collaborate with peers by sharing data and communicating through the project website. The project requires creating original work and publishing it for others to use, addressing higher-order thinking skills. Implementation would comply with privacy policies by ensuring students do not reveal private information and the site is secure and approved.

Online Projects, Collaboration Sites, and Publishing Opportunities
Lesson Idea Template
Name: Anna Angalet Grade Level: Kindergarten Content Area: Science StandardsAddressed:SKCS3. Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities. Title of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: The Down the Drain Project URL of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/drainproj/ Describe how you would Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your classroom: The students would have ipads to complete the project and this would take place during our Science portion of the day during our science unit having to do with using tools and instruments for observing and measuring. What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom? Ipads, electronic scale Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level.): a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often beyond their school: they will interact with peers by collecting data for classroom water usage, they will communicate with their near-peers via the internet through the online project site, and they will be collecting water usage data at home. b. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (collecting original data and or producing original products as a result of engaging in the project): they will collect water usage data in the classroom and at home and report their results. c. Higher-order thinking: Creating d. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: they do so through the site Blooms Level of Critical Thinking Required (check all that apply): See http://epltt.coe.uga.edu/index.php?title=Bloom%27s_Taxonomy Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating What Level of Technology Implementation best describes this learning activity and Why? 5 because Technology access is extended beyond the classroom. How could you implement this proposed learning experience and still comply with your districts Internet Safety and Student Privacy policies?
