Trash Catastrophe Part 2
After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of this two part lesson, students define criteria and constraints, engage in researching, then design, build and evaluate a prototype that will help solve our trash problem. While there are two options included in the plan, the second option is the primary focus. In option two students solve the issue of throwing away paper, but making new paper out of recycled paper in a process called frame and deckle. Students then evaluate both the process of making paper and the final product.

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.
In this creative lesson, students use research and observations to plan an ideal area for our school chickens. Students build the needed structures and work together to create the chickens' home.
