We had such a great time on Friday. We worked on community needs for both Social Studies and Science. We built simple bridges to connect the Roxaboxen community together on our bird's eye map and then we talk about the importance of water to a community. Students spent all afternoon designing everything from water catchers to septic systems. One surprise for me was when students added little squares of fabric to their designs and called them sanitation mats. The purpose the mats was to trap the dirt in water. We talked about clean water and they came up with their own way to filter it!!
We'll continue this week designing and building around community needs. We will then host Bill Morgner of Midcoast Energy Systems at the end of the month.
Here is a link to more photos. Thanks in advance for your patience with my photography skills.
