Genius Hour - Artifact I

After having experienced Genius Hour for myself and having loved it, I figured I would let my students give it a try. I gave them the all the same tools I was given. They took it and rolled with it! We tried this in science class and it came about because the students had questions after our unit on animal and plant life cycles. So I figured I let go (just a little) of the control in the classroom and give them 35 minutes to venture off and explore their curiosity. Here is an example of one student. He is an ELL student that struggles with reading and writing but I admired how much time and deication he put into this project. To see more examples check them out on our Padlet page here.
