Introduction

• Our group chose to compile a book of science
  projects that correspond with the 3rd grade
  benchmarks in science for the state of Arkansas.
• By doing this, we were able to offer a resource
  for teachers at the 3rd grade level who teach
  science and are interested in certain experiments
  that may help them introduce certain topics while
  making them fun and exciting for the students.

Research

• We first researched the benchmark standards for
  science for the state of Arkansas which can be
  found at the Arkansas Department of Education
  website.
• After we reviewed the standards that were
  required, we then began to locate different
  science experiments that could be useful in a 3rd
  grade classroom

5
Tasks Completed

• We were each assigned topics to research and we
  brought projects and activities that corresponded
  with our science topics that we were assigned.
• We divided up the tasks for typing up the
  benchmark, purpose of, instructions, and
  materials lists for our activities that we
  selected for our book.
• We finally combined all of our experiments and
  created a cover page, dividers, and bond our
  books.

Contributions to the Community

• We donated our finished product to the 3rd grade
  teachers at Root Elementary in Fayetteville,
  Arkansas.
• Our final hopes for this project are to aid the
  teachers in future planning and excite their
  students about science.

Group Experience

• Group Projects require communication,
  understanding, and patience.
• Team members must be considerate of each others
  feelings and opinions.
• We spent a great deal of time discussing,
  researching, writing, and creating our book.
• We each feel that we had a significant part in
  the creation of our project.
• We developed communication skills,
  responsibility for our actions, patience, and
  understanding.

Possible Future Expansions

• Another option would be to gather donations or
  supplies to create a kit with all of the
  materials needed to complete the projects
  included in the book and distribute them to Root
  Elementary, or other elementary schools.

• A future group could research other subjects
  such as math, English, or social studies to
  compile a similar book of activities in these, or
  other subjects.
