Creating a Water Conservation Model
by Jasmine Coleman
The objective for this assignment is to use creativity, imagination, and engineering skills to create a water conservation model that can be scaled up and used in a garden. Our theme with this unit is to encourage students to think about how sustainable products can be added to their everyday lives. This can also be a competition for students to see who creates the best design: voting can include your class or the school.
Spend 2-4 days exploring water conservation and creating a model to harvest rain water in a garden utilizing common household items: 10 gallon fish tank
sushi rollers
plastic tubing
marbles and rocks
animal bedding
glue gun and glue sticks
popsicle sticks
plastic cylinders
