Owen brought home a project to do on Dinosaurs. He got to pick which Dino to do.. He picked the Stegosaurus. We have learned some cool facts about that creature.. like it didn't have any teeth & it's brain was close to the size of a walnut... (I know some people like that!) Anyway, we spent about a week of him doing research on the stegosaurus by collecting data, watching videos online, learning how to make a clay model(which he did very well and it was a must for the project)
Owen searched both the web and books. He amazes me at the skill level he has for the PC.. it's scary!
We have now finished the diorama to hold his clay model. That was lots of fun.
Currently we are in the rough draft stage of forming all his data into full structured sentences with lots of detail. This is harder than 1 might think.. especially for someone who can't stand writing and is always in a hurry so he can go play on his game cube. Lucky for us, the project isn't due until May 26th. So far we have been able to take it nice and slow but we are still getting things done.
