UtSTA 2024: Out-Of-This-World Science Teaching
Attending this event?
Friday October 11, 2024 1:00pm - 2:00pm MDT
Have you ever wanted to create a scenario-based project where students are tasked with contributing solutions to Utah's water supply? In this project-based assignment, students will construct a yard (front or back) that is designed to not only increase the street value of the home, but reduce water usage with a water budget, stay within a financial budget, and learn how to perform research to identify correct plants that can be used in place of traditional "green lawn only" landscaping. Teachers attending this event will not only receive digital and printed materials for this project, but a walk through and opportunity to start their own project as well.

ESS.4.2-4.4 will be addressed in terms of Water Conservation and appropriate resource management (Computational Thinking & Designing Solutions)
Bio 1.5 is addressed as this lesson takes the approach of ecological succession to bringing back native species to an area. (Design a solution)
