At my school it is sometimes hard to fit in time for science. I am part of a research project in my district that is exploring ways to get more science content into the primary grades (K-2). What we are attempting is to teach some of the language arts comprehension skills and strategies through science. I am very familiar with our language arts curriculum as we have had it for several years. Our new science curriculum details language arts strategies within the science lessons. What we are attempting to do is to link these science lessons with our language arts materials. Theme 4 (one-sixth of our school year) of my language arts program focuses on “Amazing Animals.” This is the perfect time to teach the state science standards about animals and their life cycles.  I plan to integrate reading, writing, and science with student-created (partially from a template) PowerPoint presentations. This is new for me and I am a little nervous that all my students will be able to complete this project. My students, at this point, only know how to view a PowerPoint that has already been created. However, I do have two students who complete all their work very accurately and very quickly and I have been looking for something that would challenge them. They are going to be my “guinea pigs” in a test to find out whether my second graders are capable of creating PowerPoint presentations. I spoke with them today and they’re up for the challenge.  This integrative student project will be an animal report on a specific animal. They have checked out books from the library and will research additional information on the internet at school and home. My district also has a great online encyclopedia that the students will utilize. I would also like to include a Discovery Streaming editable video segment in their PowerPoint, and if everything is going well, with their narration over the video.    I have a fair amount of experience creating PowerPoint presentations to enhance my lessons. I have no experience of turning the control over to my students in this way. I want to have my students get a taste of producing a project to be shared. I am excited about this undertaking and all the growth I think it will foster in my students.  Even though Gardner states that these types of projects are “misleadingly labeled as ‘interdisciplinary,’” it seems to me that this is truly an interdisciplinary approach. I am integrating the subjects of reading, writing, and science using technology and the students are synthesizing the information from different sources.
