Research Projects

This week the students decoded Dex's note and inferred that the province he was in is in fact Ontario.  In his weekly report we found out that The World Wildlife Foundation had hired him to help an animal who is at risk in Ontario.  Dex asked the students in room 101 use the following website: https://www.ontario.ca/page/species-risk-ontario to see which animals were in trouble.  He asked the students to each pick an animal from this website to study. Dex wanted the students to look into the characteristics of these animals, where they are located in Ontario and why they are at risk.  To connect this project to mathematics and social studies the students learned about coordinate mapping this week.  They also looked at word problems to determine different distances Dex has travelled on his journey.
