The+Christo-ISH+project

** During the Christo-ISH project* students will: **
 * Research some of science's "great moments" and make predictions about possible future developments
 * Learn about and use infographics as well as QR codes
 * Make connections between various fields of scientific study
 * Use technology to create an audio program similar to Radiolab, and then post it online
 * Create a "portal" to their learning using materials inspired by the art of The Gates by Christo

*Why is it called the Christo-ISH project? Because the final product that we will create in the MRMS library will hopefully look a bit like The Gates art installation by Christo, and it will use //__**I**__//nfographics, along with notable moments in //__**S**__//cience //__**H**__//istory.

__Day 1__: Getting Started

 * Today we will start by taking a look at The Gates art installation in New York City, and then we will listen to some samples of Radio Lab programs. (Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3)**
 * Next, students will choose a noteworthy moment/discovery in science and research it so that they can:**
 * teach others about who was involved in their chosen moment
 * explain why the moment was important (How did it lead to changes in science/the world? How does it continue to be of importance?)
 * provide a basic explanation of the science involved
 * provide background information about the setting for the moment you chose
 * (Note: Mr. Vincelette will provide a list of noteworthy moments in science) **
 * Finally, if time allows, students will begin working on planning/creating their own Radiolab-esque audio program.**
