GR K-2After
an early summertime recess, students return to Ms.
V.'s classroom complaining that it's much too hot on the playground.
They decide they need some shade and proceed to figure out how they
might get it.
Students develop a plan to dispose of the
cafeteria and classroom waste.
| GR 3-5Students
look at the issue of paper consumption in their classroom and in their
school. After collecting and analyzing
the data they realize that the issue of paper usage is a school wide problem
and they start a paper-recycling program in the school.
As part of a school board initiative to redesign the land around the school, a multiage classroom develops a plan for interactive outdoor learning spaces. The students develop four learning spaces called “Froggy Bottom”, “Today’s Weather”, “Shhh! Quiet”, and “Plants Plants!”. The students transform a piece of unused school property into a garden. Students work with local community members throughout the process. They find a garden-partner classroom in Global Gardens, where they document the growing process together on their wiki, comparing and contrasting how different climates grow different plants. | GR 6-8Students use data to make a strong case for altering the health-related choices available at their school. An improved understanding of data collection techniques and analysis prepares these students to make healthier choices. Students work collaboratively in teams to develop solutions and recommendations for stream bank preservation through erosion prevention on a river in their community. They collect data, research solutions, and raise funds to employ their solutions.Cellphones + Driving = Accidents Vermont students collaborate with students from schools in other states to analyze data regarding cell phone use while driving. Accident data is collected and compared from states that have enacted laws that prohibits or restricts cell phone use while driving to those states that have no such laws. Students also collect data to determine if laws do, in fact, lower the incidence of cell phone use while driving. Students analyze their findings and prepare videos to share with driver education classes, their communities, and their respective state legislatures.
