2. Research and Investigation: Once the project topic is chosen, students engage in research and investigation to gather information and resources related to the topic. This phase encourages independent and collaborative learning as students explore different sources and perspectives.

3. Design and Creation: In this phase, students use the information gathered to design and create their project. This could involve creating a presentation, building a model, conducting experiments, or developing a solution to a real-world problem.

4. Implementation and Collaboration: Students work together to implement their project, seeking feedback from peers and teachers to refine their work. Collaboration and communication skills are emphasized as students work in teams to complete their project.

5. Presentation and Reflection: The final phase involves presenting the project to an audience, which could include peers, teachers, parents, or community members. After the presentation, students reflect on their learning experience, evaluating their own work and the work of their peers.

By following these phases, the project-based curriculum approach promotes active, inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. It also allows students to apply their learning in real-world contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
