The Disease Project 

During the disease unit in science .... 
Lang Arts, Science, and Social Studies
classrooms teamed up for The Disease Project 
Science (research a disease; identify symptoms, ways to reduce risks)
LangArts (write a poem about the selected disease)
Social Studies (identify places in the world where the disease exists)

Putting it all together - 
Students created a poster that listed symptoms, ways to reduce risk, 
poem, and areas of the world where their disease is found.

Have students present their project in science.

Post finished work 
 in the hall rather than the classroom. 

This worked extremely well 
and gave the kids 3 grades for 1 project
