EXTRA CREDIT PROJECT
Due Friday, February 25th
You have watched videos and read about canals in New Jersey and around the world. Now it’s time for you to create your own canal. Are you up for the challenge?
Use your book and watch the videos from our blog site to review how canals work. Be creative – use any materials you want to create your canal – twigs, clay, play dough, building blocks, legos, etc. If you don’t want to make a 3D model, you can also make a drawing of how a canal works. Your family can help you, but the majority of the work should be done by you.
For your project, you should include at least:
One lower level
One upper level
A lock
A boat
Your project doesn’t need to use water to show how it works, but it should show how a lock works in a canal.
The number of points you can earn will depend on how well you are able to demonstrate how a canal works. You can earn up to 10 extra credit points. Remember – family members can help, but the MAJORITY of the work needs to be done by you.
Your project should be handed in by Friday, February 25th. We will have a class demonstration for anyone that brings in a canal.
