How to Teach Project Based Learning Elementary
Are you looking for a Fun Real World Design Project Based Learning BUNDLE? This enrichment PBL resource consists of 2 separate projects – ideal for over two quarters! Design a Robot Activity Packet and Design a Tree House Activity Packet and consists of informational reading passages for kids to read and highlight the main ideas. There are brainstorm bubble maps, designing signs and logos, planning graphic organizers, cafe` menus, STEM challenges, coloring sheets, building a cardboard 3D model, writing prompts and much more.
These two projects are available as a print and digital resource, so that you can project on your smartboard for whole class instruction, then print contents either individually or in booklet form (which the kids love!)
