Rain Gauges

Reusing Plastic Bottles; students mark the bottles to measure rainfall. We are able to tell which areas of the yard collect more rainfall. Areas under trees are less effected by the rainfall

Solar Beads

Placing Solar Beads in various places of the school yard lets us see where the sun hits most. This will allow students to plan where to plant based on how much sunlight the plants need to be healthiest.
