I often give my students choice and voice which I discussed in my blog post, Giving Students Choice and Voice. This project, written, enhance, and performed by 6th graders, was truly an example of voice and choice along with having them do a Type III enrichment project. Three 6th grade girls began this project last year in their gifted class as a stop-motion animation.

Full Set of Rings of Saturn. Credit: Wikimedia Commons Saturn’s rings are one of the most iconic features of the planet, but their origin and age have long been a mystery. A recent study by a team of scientists led by Sascha Kempf from the University of Colorado at Boulder has shed new light on these questions. The researchers used data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft to study the rate at which dust accumulates on the rings.
