Third and fourth grade students at the Carroll County Christian Academy are studying the classification of animals in science class. To help them understand animal families, each student created a science notebook of animal pictures. There are six sections in the book, one for each vertebrate classification and one for invertebrate. Each section consisted of a title page, characteristics page, a report on one animal and at least five pictures of different animals.
The project has a dual purpose as it also teaches beginning organizational skills and following project instructions to the students.
“It was an enjoyable project and an important learning experience,” said Teacher Joan Dawson.
