Some folks already have projects in mind. These ideas might help you think about what you'd like o do. We'll be talking about more project ideas when we meet on June 10.
Carla Waller - Insect Survey Unit Plan
*Please note that this unit plan will be subject to change based on the
availability of local experts and resources.
Unit Overview: The bulk of this unit will be completed when students are in library. During the activity, students will review their data collection/analysis skills by keeping track of the number and type of insects that we collect. Students will also keep a field journal to keep track of their observations, reflections, and
research about each insect we collect. Once data collection is complete, we will create an ebook about and present our findings.
Sarah Larochelle is looking at several possible projects including:
- Native plants/pollinators/healthy ecosystem
- Biomimicry
- Studying a plant or animal species that has vulnerable/threatened/endangered status, and finding ways to help
- We have access to a creek in the woods on campus, so maybe we could study and find ways to help the space where we do nature hikes
Amtulnoor Grosser will continue working on her Aquaponics project.
"We actually have things growing. I'm going to set them at our last store. It's been so exciting for the kids. The fish that finally made it work for us were the guppies. They started out very tiny. The tinier the better. We have lettuce, Cilantro and a little bit of basil."
