Project-Based Learning in Grade 7 engages students in solving real-world problems through research, collaboration, and creativity. Through inquiry learning, they ask big questions, design projects, and reflect on outcomes. Instead of only completing worksheets, learners create presentations, models, and reports that connect classroom knowledge to practical issues. Activities such as group projects, experiments, and community-based challenges make learning meaningful. By linking subjects together and focusing on problem-solving, Project-Based Learning becomes a path for critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation.
