5 more things to consider:

  1. We are the only school that we know of to implement this sort of project using the WIKI-this means Heritage Academy will be a trendsetter!
  2. No bulky tri-fold boards and gadgets to deal with-it’s all online!
  3. Work on projects will take place in science class in scheduled allotments. Each student will be given a schedule of due dates leading up to the final due date. This way the student does not become overwhelmed nor does he or she have to complete the entire project at home the night before!
  4. Prizes will be given in each division (grades 7-9 and 10-12) for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
  5. Projects that place will be featured on the front page of the Heritage Academy website.
