A collaborative project is intended to allow interested individuals (students and teachers) at different institutions to collaborate on research projects / activities in a meaningful way.
 * Collaborative Project **


 * **CyberFair**
 * http://www.globalschoolhouse.org/cf
 * CyberFair encourages youth to connect the knowledge they learn in school to real world applications. The eight (8) categories for the Web-based research project are: Local Leaders; Community Groups and Special Populations; Businesses and Organizations; Local Specialties, Sports and Health; Local Attractions (Natural and Man Made); Historical Landmarks; Environmental Awareness and Issues; and Local Culture, Music and Art Forms.


 * **Global Grocery List**

 * Global Grocery List compares prices of different countries. Students can input their grocery prices and compare them with other countries. They could compare the value of money for different cultures based on what is bought.


 * [|National Math Trail]
 * http://www.nationalmathtrail.org/
 * The National Math Trail is an opportunity for K-12 teachers and students to discover and share the math that exists in their own environments. Students explore their communities and create one or more math problems that relate to what they find. Teachers submit the problems to the National Math Trail site, along with photos, drawings, sound recordings, videos--whatever can be adapted to the Internet.


 * ** Project: Big Mac **
 * http://www.goodmansonline.com/jim/projectbigmac/
 * online telecollaborative project in which students collect prices of the Big Mac from all over the world. The project has implications in economics, math, and other social studies classes.


 * [|Online Schoolyard Projects]
 * http://web.stclair.k12.il.us/splashd/Experimt.htm
 * Online projects that allow students to, collaboratively or independently, conduct scientific and mathematical investigations in their schoolyards and then submit their collected data using an online form. Each piece of submitted data is then placed on the web page as a chart for the students to study and to download as an Excel spreadsheet. Student comments and communication about their experiences are encouraged. Digital pictures of captured organisms and experimental designs are also wanted for display at this web site.


 * [|Down the Drain]
 * http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/drainproj/information.html
 * This Internet-based collaborative project will allow students to share information about water usage with other students from around the country and the world. Based on data collected by their household members and their classmates, students will determine the average amount of water used by one person in a day. They will compare this to the average amount of water used per person per day in other parts of the world.
