My Project

My goal for this project is to help my students learn while problem solving, critical thinking, and experimenting.

The renewable energy items will be used while my students build their own model of houses and use the hydroelectric turbines, wind turbines, and solar panels to generate electricity for their house.

The hydroponics system, the bird feeder, and ant farm are to teach my students about nature. The hydroponics system will teach my students a new way of gardening. We will be using different types of bird feed to log what type of birds are attracted to it. We will monitor the ants in the ant farm to see the different jobs ants do.

The building STEM kits will be for my students who have finished work early. Several of my students need hands on activities when they are done with their work.
