Magnificent Marine

Our science topic of the Magnificent Marine is well under way.  Students are choosing activities about marine creatures and environments based on a Multiple Intelligences grid.  We have dioramas, experiments, games, scale models and more on the go! Take a look below and some work in progress.

 Origami sea creatures to add to a diorama showing creatures that live in the different zones in the ocean.

 Scale model sea creatures sculptured out of playdough.  Workings for the scaled sizes were done on excel.

Planning for an explanation of a phenomenon about a sea creature in the form of a myth (invented by the students individually)

Writing the myth using the iPad on a programme called 'Book Creator'.  Completed myths will be published on our writing blog:  http://room19literacy2013.blogspot.co.nz/
