These photos show some of the activities the students have been engaged in as we explore our first project all about urban design and its impact on people and the environment. You will see students creating word webs to brainstorm the elements of cities, making collages with these features, walking through Kerry Town with urban planners, and more. Students loved learning about the sustainable designs of City Hall, and after, connecting this to the science of the water cycle.
Students explored the water cycle through playing a dice game where they became a water drop and traced their journey through visting different stations (such as cloud, animal, groundwater, and more). We also walked around the neighborhood by our school, making observations of the built/natural environments. Students pointed out where they saw storm drains, compared the number of impermeable to permeable surfaces, and used their senses to take note of how the design of the various spaces made us feel.
