Square of Life: Studies in Local and Global Environments is an internet-based collaborative project. Students will investigate their local environment and share that information with other students from around the country and the world. Participants will: identify living and non-living things in their school yards, share their findings with other participating classes, look for similarities and differences in the reported data, and prepare a final report or presentation based on their findings. New projects begin each semester.
