Grade: Grade 3

Project Descriptor:

In this immersive and empowering project, Grade 3 students embarked on a journey to explore the crucial question: “How do insects impact human life and the ecosystem?”

The project was designed to blend real-world problem-solving with fundamental mathematical and English concepts, fostering a deep understanding of insects, their characteristics and the role they play to impact human life and the ecosystem. The driving question served as a compass, guiding students to discover and implement strategies that ensure deep understanding of these tiny crawly creatures.

Subject integration:

Mathematics – data analysis and collection, measurement concepts comparing length of different full-grown insects and problem solving

Life Skills – arts and crafts, experiments, field trips and insect anatomy

Geography – special focus on the continent of Africa

English – comprehension, shared reading, listening and speaking (oral presentations) and vocabulary
