Engage Primary Students in Science with Technology!
Use these examples of projects created by students to inspire digital project work in your primary science program.
These projects were created by students using Wixie.
Animal Traits
Students use a cluster diagram template to describe traits of a plant, animal, habitat, or weather system.
More Ideas for Cluster Diagrams
Scientific Cycles
Students can choose a scientific cycle and illustrate it to build and demonstrate their understanding.
Interview with an Animal
Students interview animals to demonstrate knowledge of animal characteristics, diet, and more.
Reading and Writing Informational Texts
Have students create their own informational text including headings, a table of contents, captions, and labeling to find information. Publish their work as a great collection of nonfiction at just the right reading level for your students.
Making Comparisons
Students use a Venn diagram template to compare two animals, habitats, or other science topic.
Take a Creative Approach
Have students write poetry or create unique products to demonstrate understanding of informational text.
