Paul Owens' grade six/seven students love telling stories, especially if it means they can win prizes of new mobile devices for their school! While learning about Saskatchewan's Boundary Dam Carbon Capture program in Science, Paul's class heard about a contest put on by SaskPower. The stakes were high, as the potential for new technology was on the line! However there was one catch... you had to make an engaging video to help educate others on carbon capture in Saskatchewan.
This cross curricular project allowed students to explore outcomes in English Language Arts, Science and Arts Education. With English Language Arts, students were engaged in researching, brainstorming, script writing and creating a storyboard. In Science, students were evidently high engaged in learning about what carbon capture is and why it's important to everyone, particularly future generations. Finally in Arts Education, the students had to bring what they learned in Science and English Language Arts to life with the creation of a video.
