Projects

Below is a good example of how the Energy Rubberband book should be completed. Instead of one piece of construction paper making a cover page and three pages of space for the book, you were provided with two pieces of construction paper to make a cover sheet and seven additional pages allowing more space for the students to include pictures from their scavenger hunt for illustrations to demonstrate the various types of energy.







I encourage you to explore your creativity with decorating the book. Please be sure that information presented from the sheets provided are placed in chronological order for easy reading. Remember, this assignment is designed to help you learn more about and explore energy. Also, be sure that the illustrations chosen are labeled properly with the kind of Energy that it is to represent. Have Fun!!!

Here is a great example of the Endangered Species project. Though it is incomplete, it still gives a great idea of what I am expecting to see from you.
