Meridian: Getting A Grip On Project-Based Learning Abstract Project-based learning is centered on the learner and affords learners the opportunity for in-depth investigations of worthy topics. The learners are more autonomous as they construct personally-meaningful artifacts that are representations of their learning. This article examines the theoretical foundations of project-based learning, particularly constructivism and constructionism, and notes the similarities and differences among implementations, including project-based science (Blulmenfeld et al., 1991), disciplined inquiry (Levstik & Barton, 2001) and WebQuests (Dodge, 1995). In addition, an anatomy of a model case will be considered using a WebQuest example developed by the author, describing seven characteristics common among the various implementations of project-based learning.

Get to Know Nature | Science | Lesson Plan | PBS LearningMedia In this lesson, students learn about habitats and biodiversity by collecting data about the plants and animals that live in their community and by working together to create a nature guide for their neighborhood. First, they watch an animated video that models science process skills such as making observations and recording data, and then they practice these skills in a related outdoor activity. Students then explore the biodiversity near their school by participating in a biodiversity scavenger hunt. Finally, students work together to identify some of the plants and animals they found during the scavenger hunt, and collate their data in a nature guide. Time Allotment Three 60-minute class periods Learning Objectives Understand that biodiversity is the variety of living things in a given place.Show that there are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water.
