I never imagined how far our 6th graders could go in their work. I have been implementing  the Case Study I designed: JAWS- Forensic Case Study, and I am amazed of my students’ work and results. They have been real scientists in the classroom and have taken the role seriously, enjoying it as well.

They have found shark teeth, have identified them, have come up with questions to answer with the data collected, have taken different teeth measurements and analyzed them using measures of center and variability, finding that the shark teeth sizes do not vary much, based on the range of sizes measured. They are coming up with conclusions now, mentioning what types of sharks were at the Aurora region 25-5 million years ago, when it was covered with ocean water.

As scientists do, they are ready to publish now, creating a”Piktochart” to present their results, and I am  perplexed to see groups working ” so naturally”, like regular scientists together to finish this journey.

This has been amazing!!!
