Life-size Whale...
Ms. Lang's regular education Oceanography students constructed a life size model of a blue whale. The whale was contructed after the Oceanography classes went to the National Aquarium to observe and study marine life. It is difficult for students to grasp a real understanding of how large these mammals really are. The whale is 70 feet long x 24 feet wide. Students from 4 different classes worked on this project for a week. Skills they had to use were measurements (in meters & feet), art, math, pattern reading, cutting & taping, problem solving and how to work effectively as a team. The students were very proud of what they accomplished and they were shocked to learn how small they are compared to a Blue Whale. Overall, everyone learned a lot and it was an experience I don't think they will forget soon.
Partners for Safe Teen Driving
