A Nest Above The Rest

Friday, October 25th, 2024


Lesson Overview:  Students will need to design and print 3D bird nests, in order to be placed into different locations in both the Tree Project and Worton Park. Eggs will be molded from various malleable materials and placed into the nests.  Students are asked to observe the nests over periods of specified time in both the fall and spring […]

Water Water Everywhere and More

Friday, October 25th, 2024


Lesson Overview:  Students work with your group to create a STEM based audio-visual presentation (MP4 video required) that clearly identifies the effects of stormwater runoff as they relate specifically to our campus, create a scaled map that identifies the major surface water flows (location and direction), drainage locations (gutter down spouts and storm drains) and […]

W.I.N.G.S
