What is Project-based Learning?
It’s easy to understand project-based learning when you think of Science. For example, instead of reading a book about how a bicycle works, students are able to use hands-on learning and examine how the gears move, how forward motion is produced, and even how to dismantle and reassemble it. This allows students to achieve a deeper understanding of how things operate, bringing abstract ideas to life.
But how does project-based learning transfer to other subjects like English and Social Studies? When learning about the past, students can immerse themselves by simulating the experience. For example, to learn how historical trench-style wars were fought, students can move their desks to opposite sides of the room, and while listening to war sounds, take aim tossing paper balls across the room to the other trench. Simulating how armies positioned themselves and how they operated allows the student a greater comprehension of the subject.
These examples and many more are put in to practice in all areas of our curriculum.
