Fourth Graders Share Health Expertise
Fourth graders completed their health unit in science by hosting a fair and sharing their knowledge with parents and lower school peers. “The Health Fair is a great opportunity for students to direct their learning based on personal interest and connections to a health topic,” explains teacher Kate Callan. This year, students selected to research topics including stress, burns, yoga, allergies, and color blindness. “Students chose so many different ways—games, quizzes, models, and demonstrations, among others—to express their expertise with their audience and they did a great job.”
This project challenges students to read through various sources and determine the validity of what they are reading, and then determine the best way to share this information with others. Students gained invaluable experience with public speaking as they presented to many visitors. The students were poised, professional, and knowledgeable. MORE PHOTOS
