Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

The goal of this project is for children to create an irrigation system for our new garden beds.

Students will be engineering an irrigation system by implementing collaboratively, a design and process to irrigate the plants in one of our school beds.

Students will be able to use problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, critical thinking, teamwork, and communication.

Students will make connections between our culminating study on trees and our new study on water, through experimenting with the ways water travels.

This project will allow our classroom to make a contribution to our school's garden by being able to efficiently water our school beds in order to sustain the plants' continual growth.
