Abstract

The article discusses a "Poor, Poor Pluto: A Planet No More," a research project led by librarian Lindsey Jones at Cactus Ranch Elementary School in Round Rock, Texas in which third-grade students examined why Pluto was no longer considered a planet and in turn developed basic research skills. Information is provided on Jones' collaboration with teachers in planning the project, as well as lessons on citations, writing research papers, and using audio-visual aids.
