Rating
0.0 stars

Have you ever been to a playground that had so many fun things to do it was hard to decide where to start? Have you ever used the twistiest slide or the highest swing? What about chasing your friends through wood chips in a game of tag? Playgrounds can be so much fun for kids of all ages, but in this module your job is to decide if they can also be fun for kids of all abilities.

If you enjoy engineering, helping others, being creative, or being crafty, this is a great module for you! Join us as we investigate the word "accessibility," explore what playground components already exist, and create a playground of our very own. You might even be able to start change in your own community!

How Might We Design a Pizza Garden for Maine?
Rating
0.0 stars

How can you collaborate with partner/s to design a garden that grows ingredients for a pizza? Your design will be specific to the conditions of the Maine community where you live, and you will have several important decisions to make about its location. Will the garden be indoors, outdoors, virtual, or a combination?

Your partner/s can be friends, family, classmates, community members, or you can choose to work alone. Using a Google Slides Template that you copy and download, you will document your pizza garden designs. Your final garden design will be shared using a slideshow, video, or photograph format, with an audience that you choose -- You Tube, your local School Board, Google Classroom and a favorite teacher, Google Sites, social media, family and friends, or create your own hashtag.

Research will help you decide what the best growing situations are for your Pizza Garden plants and your environment. You will explore various designs and then, based on your new learning, you will design a garden that represents your thinking behind the choices you made. Finally, you will use the method that works best for you and share your Pizza Garden design with others.

Again, all of this work can be done collaboratively, with partners, or by you independently.

So, what is the best design for a pizza garden in Maine? It's up to YOU!

What Does it Take to Survive in the Maine Outdoors?
Rating
0.0 stars

Explore different "lost in the woods" scenarios and determine what it actually takes to survive in Maine.

Then create a survival pack - one that you could carry at all times that could help you if you were to ever become "Lost in Maine" - and virtually share the pack with other students and adults via a “preparedness public service announcement.”
