Projekt Narcisa in Tulipan
Učenci v razredih po celem svetu izbirajo med čebulicami narcise in tulipana ter jih posadijo v istem tednu v novembru. Od učencev se bo zahtevalo, da zberejo podatke o temperaturi v času celotnega eksperimenta in o tem poročajo drugi skupini. Poleg tega bodo poročali tudi o tem, kdaj se pojavijo cvetovi, itd. Učitelji bodo lahko projekt uporabili za učenje raznih veščin pri različnih starostnih stopnjah (PBL). Upamo tudi, da bo na forumih veliko diskusij na to temo, medtem ko bomo »čakali« na cvetove. Učenci bodo imeli priložnost uporabljati svoje matematično znanje (risanje grafov, pretvarjanje mer v angleške in obratno, pretvorbe temperature iz F v °C in obratno, itd..) in utrjevati znanje naravoslovja (zbirali, primerjali in analizirali bodo podatke, ipd.). Pri tem bodo obnavljali tudi poznavanje zemljepisa in drugih kultur (učenje o drugih delih sveta) ter uporabljali znanje jezikov, (nekateri učitelji načrtujejo, da bi si s tem projektom poskušali pomagati pri učenju angleščine kot drugega tujega jezika pri dopisovanju med učenci). Učenci bodo s tem razvijali tudi svojo kreativnost (iščemo povezave, podobnosti med narcisami in tulipani). Projekt je lahko zelo preprost ali bolj kompleksen, odvisno od potreb učencev v vašem razredu.

Abstract
The Daffodil and Tulip Project

Classrooms around the world choose Daffodil and/or Tulip bulbs to plant during the same week in November. Students will be asked to collect temperature data throughout the experiment and report to the group – in addition they will report when the blooms appear etc. Teachers will find that this project can be used to teach many skills for many age levels(PBL). We are hoping for much discussion in the forums while we are “waiting” for the blooms. Students will have opportunities to use math skills (graphing, converting metric to English or the reverse, Temperature conversions F to C and the reverse, etc.) practice science skills (hypothesizing what effects bloom date, collecting data, comparing and analyzing data, etc.) appreciate geography and culture (learning about the other parts of the world as the students share their similar projects), Language Arts, (as students write to each other about their experience, some teachers are planning to use this project to help teach English as a second language classes), Creative Arts (we are finding connections in the arts to daffodils and tulips that can be shared as well). The project can be as involved or as simple as your class needs it to be.
