Mann Science
For the week of March 31 - April 4, 2014
A note from Mrs. Mann
Our main focus in class is getting our background information on Texas Eco Regions to dive into our next PBL. PBL stands for Project Based Learning.
PBL's allow students to work together at a high level of inquiry. The early part of the week, students will work collaboratively to form a contract and presentation rubric then on Friday they will see the "driving question" that will guide their creative PBL process.
I look forward to the amazing presentations that will develop in class!
