We spend this week exploring the great outdoors and documenting our finding using our i-naturalist app. We created molds for casting animal prints, modeled seed transportation methods, built a bug "potato" trap (mine disappeared without a trace- wiley raccoon perhaps???), and created our own "bubble gum" terrariums. We also examined the local water feature (Allen STEAM Center Pond) for evidence of pollution based on pond life samples. Our final project was a challenge to identify and create a solution for an environmental problem. We proposed the S.W.A.N.S. unit (presentation below) to clean up waste and trash in community lakes, ponds, and water features.
