Students are tasked to use their knowledge of the aforementioned topics to create a blueprint of a new, ‘better’ house.
Bug RVs: Build a Better Bug Box
Tuesday, June 4th, 2019
Biology students study insects and design a box for collecting insects. This design is done in collaboration with engineering students who 3D print the final product. These bug boxes are later used by elementary students to collect insects in the school’s nature area.
Animal Armor
