Sequence Information
Sequence: K0301 The Last Straw
Description:
This module from the Kusasa project teaches the importance of remaining 'on task' when thinking about a project — in other words, 'thinking with purpose.'

In the story, the thunderbolt kids are tasked with a straw model activity. Jo starts building straight away, but Soph heads straight for the books.


About Kusasa project:

Kusasa, a new educational resource for teachers and learners everywhere. Kusasa aims to develop analytical and creative thinking in learners, and more effective teaching practices in educators.

Kusasa includes character role models, experiments, simple computer modelling and carefully-sequenced lesson plans. These come together to provide a richly interactive environment in which learners imitate the Kusasa role models as they undertake their simple classroom experiments and solve their computer modelling problems.

With development now complete and the project closed, the Foundation is pleased to make all the resources available to the world. On this site you can now read all Kusasa Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and instructional stories. Alternatively you can download all stories as well as eToys projects. Complete lesson modules (which require the installation of LAMS) can also be downloaded from the site.
