We have had several meetings with Zach and this ultimately helped give us a view on how we will progress our project. This also gave us an idea on what the main goal was and what to dig deeper into. Our meetings with Zach consisted of our future plans for our water fair.
We concluded that each water fair lesson will be 15 minutes long totaling 45 minutes to an hour total. Then we also had to put the actual time for the students to rotate stations so therefore we need to account 12 minutes for rotation. We will have 3-4 students per station; our group spent a lot of time focussing on what middle schoolers enjoy, but twist them to grasp more elementary topics. Our audience is 3rd-5th graders with some older grades mixed in.
We decided to research topics regarding a retention pond, pollution, water run off, flooding issues in specific locations, duckweed, plumbing issues, and to keep everything community focused. Our ultimate goal has been getting students invested in their community, and making them feel involved regarding water conservation.
