Project Based Learning

Sample – Lesson 2

2.1 Essential Question:

2.3 Learning Environment:

Furnitures arranged for group work in the class room, Assembly area for doing compiling work and interaction with the peers Medical room for measuring height Computer lab for doing online work. Recording data in papers and log book entry in book Some collaboration between students will take place through email/blog
