How Can We Use Recycled or Refurbished Materials to Help People Adapt to the Climate and Environment in Michigan?
Project Description: While the world grapples with the challenges of sustainability on many levels, sixth-grade students at A2 STEAM have taken a more local approach by considering how where we live affects how we live. Through a sequence of parallel and concurrent investigations in science and social studies, students created design concepts out of recycled and refurbished materials to address adapt to Michigan's climate and environment. Over the course of the project, they refined these ideas through exposure to laboratories and investigations. Each team operated with choice and autonomy and addressed different audiences based on unique needs.
Sixth Grade Students at A2 STEAM also participated in the management of this content.
Below are examples of their learning in their own words:
We did a trio of projects this Fall. They all helped us better understand concepts in Geography and Science, and how these subjects relate to each other. In Geography we learned about the different types of maps and how climates affect people. We also learned about the science concepts of how particles move, and how light and heat energy travel and transfer.
