Student Activity and Engagement:
Student will use Google Drive as an online and real time collaboration platform for a major group research project on the factors affecting plant growth including sunlight, water, and salt content in soil etc. Each group will be assigned a different independent variable/factor so results over the weeks are to be compiled with other groups to achieve complete data as a whole class. The use of Google Drive will help students stay organised and active with their experiment, allow peer editing and assessment, and teacher can also monitor student progress and give guidance interactively as they go.
