Two 7th grade girls with interest in the medical field began a dissection project. This opportunity will hopefully shed some light on the organs and systems of different creatures. The students are working on this during their 7th Grade ELP class in the 3rd quarter. So far they have been amazed of how well they can pick out and identify the parts of a crayfish and perch.
The 3rd Quarter marked the first time 7th Graders were able to take an ELP course here at the Independence Junior Senior High. The class meets every day during the 3rd Quarter in place of an exploratory class. Students will work on projects using the Project Based Learning model, allowing students to choose topics that relate to them well or have a high interest in. They create a project proposal including skills/topics they want to learn more about. They propose questions and center their activities around finding answers and solutions.
