- 10. Project-Based Learning Project Based Learning is teaching students through activities, such as projects. This allows the students to show what they have learned through demonstration rather than taking a test. I will incorporate PBL by assigning group projects throughout the unit. It will help students retain and understand material more thoroughly. How I will incorporate this in my classroom: I will assign a project on the planets of the Solar System, where each student will be assigned to a group and that group will be assigned a planet. Each group will be responsible for: Getting information about their topic Creating a visual aid Making sure every person in the group has an equal role Presenting the project to the class
