My Project

Star Wars week is approaching, let the force be with us through climate studies, help students learn about Climate and the Environment through creating their own drones, light lasers, and environment friendly planets. Students will learn the difference between climate and weather, visit virtually and research various online atmospheres. The creation of STEAM activates through climate will develop an understanding of the importance of understanding various climates around the world. Students will have the chance to create and build their own drone understanding how drones can support climate and the environment through studies and research. Students will explore NASA online, and take a trip through space in connection to Star Wars! We look forward to an awesome Star Wars Day! Help us make the 4th be with us through climate and environment studies.
