To wrap up our weather unit, we did a research project that studied the different types of storms. Students worked in groups of 3-4 students to gather information about their assigned part. Each student was assigned a specific question; what causes a storm, where do they happen, etc. They typed their findings into a matrix via Google Classroom.
I differentiated by providing different research materials. For my students who needed extra support, I gave them an outline that listed facts for each part, so they could research in simpler terms. For my students who needed a challenge, I gave them online articles and informational texts, so they could research their part on their own.
After students completed their part of the matrix, they presented their research via FlipGrid. Each group recorded a video where they read their research. At Open House, parents read students' research (the completed matrix) and scanned QR codes to watch their child's presentation video.
