Step 1: UNDERSTAND THE LEARNING GOALS

Your teacher will explain what you’re going to learn from the project. These goals will be connected to what you’re supposed to learn in your grade level.

Step 2: GET CURIOUS ABOUT A QUESTION

During the second stage of the project you will choose a big, interesting question that your project will help answer. This question is meant to get you thinking and asking more questions. We have included 10 projects ideas as a starting point. You can discuss these ideas with your teacher as well as your XTutor before you decide on a final question.

Project Topics and Driving Questions to Start From:

Step 3: PLAN YOUR PROJECT

With help from your XTutor or teacher, you and your classmates will plan out your project. This includes deciding what tasks need to be done, when they should be finished, and what materials you might need.

Remember: You can ask your XTutor to help you to create an action plan.

Step 4: START YOUR PROJECT

Your teacher will kick off the project, going over the big question, the project requirements, and the timeline. Then, it’s time to get started!

Step 5: LEARN AND EXPLORE

You and your classmates will work together to research the big question and learn new things. Your teacher will help guide you, but you’ll have a lot of control over where your learning goes.

Remember: Your XTutor is always here to help guide you with any questions or difficulties you might have.

Step 6: CHECK YOUR PROGRESS

Your teacher will check in with you regularly to see how you’re doing, give you feedback, and help you if you’re stuck. It’s important to make sure you stay on schedule and on task.

Step 7: SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW

Throughout the project, you’ll show your teacher what you’re learning through smaller assignments. At the end, you’ll complete a final project or test to show everything you’ve learned. You and your classmates can also create quick presentations to showcase the knowledge you have gained as well small quizzes to test each other’s understanding of the topic.

Step 8: SHARE YOUR WORK

Once your project is finished, you’ll share it with your classmates, your school, or even your community. This could be a presentation, a demonstration, or a showcase of your work.

Step 9: REFLECT ON YOUR LEARNING

After the project, you’ll think about what you learned, what you liked, what was hard, and how you can use your new knowledge in the future.

Step 10: REVIEW THE PROJECT

Finally, you’ll think about the project as a whole. What worked well? What didn’t? How can you do better on the next project? This will help you do even better on your next PBL project.

Project Ideas:

1. Healthy Me Cookbook: Let’s create a healthy cookbook together! Draw pictures of your favorite fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods. Write down simple recipes or instructions on how to prepare them. Share your cookbook with your family and friends, and encourage them to try out your healthy recipes.

2. Feelings Collage: Explore different emotions by creating a feelings collage. Cut out pictures from magazines that show people expressing different emotions like happiness, sadness, or anger. Glue them onto a poster board and discuss each emotion with your classmates. Talk about times when you have felt these emotions and how you can manage them.

3. My Exercise Routine: Design your own exercise routine to stay active and healthy. Draw pictures of different exercises like jumping jacks, running in place, or stretching. Create a visual schedule and follow it every day, checking off each exercise as you complete it. You can also invite your family members to join in and make it a fun group activity.

4. Healthy Snack Investigation: Investigate different snacks and determine which ones are healthy and which ones are not. Collect a variety of snacks and sort them into two categories: healthy and not healthy. Discuss the reasons why some snacks are better for our bodies than others, and create a chart or poster to display your findings.

5. My Sleep Diary: Keep a sleep diary to learn about your sleep habits. Each day, draw a picture or write about how many hours of sleep you had the night before and how you felt when you woke up. Share your sleep diary with your classmates and discuss the importance of getting enough rest for our bodies and minds.

6. Germ Busters: Explore the concept of germs and how to stay healthy. With the help of your teacher and parents, conduct a simple experiment to demonstrate how germs spread. Use glitter or powder to represent germs and shake hands or touch objects to see how easily they can transfer. Discuss the importance of washing hands regularly and covering coughs and sneezes.

7. My Healthy Plate: Learn about balanced meals by creating a visual representation of a healthy plate. Draw a circle on a paper plate and divide it into sections for fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. Use magazines or printed pictures to cut out images of different foods and glue them in the appropriate sections. Talk about the importance of eating a variety of foods from each group.

8. Dental Health Detective: Become a dental health detective and investigate the importance of dental hygiene. Interview your family members about their dental care routines and create a poster or a booklet to share dental health tips. You can also make a dental hygiene checklist to remind yourself to brush your teeth twice a day, floss, and visit the dentist regularly.

9. My Emotion Jar: Decorate a jar and fill it with colorful strips of paper. On each strip, write down a different emotion you experience. Whenever you feel a strong emotion, take a strip out of the jar and talk about it with your teacher or a trusted adult. Reflect on why you felt that way and discuss healthy ways to manage and express emotions.

10. Healthy Habits Pledge: Create a healthy habits pledge to commit to making positive choices. Write down promises to eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and practice good hygiene. Decorate your pledge and display it in your classroom or at home to remind yourself and others of your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
