Independent Research Investigation - 5th Grade
Shiva and Dominic took an interest in the Cold War and Space Race topics. They decided to combine their interests for their research. Their thesis statement: Though it may seem as if the Cold War added to the tensions between the U.S. and U.S.S.R., in reality it expanded both the U.S. and U.S.S.R.’s knowledge of space and technology and ultimately brought them together to become allies.
During Language Arts, the boys spent time doing research, composing an essay, and keeping a bibliography. At home, they worked to create an animated version of their topic on Scratch.
