Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n

Our time outdoors during this unit has resulted in great discussions about how walking is great for your physical and mental health and how being in nature makes us feel relaxed and calm.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s give some ideas to the school about what it could look like!\u00a0Invent a natural space you would enjoy spending time in during your breaks.<\/strong> What natural elements would you include? Get creative! Remember, this is not a playground, so no playground equipment. Think trees, rocks, natural space, garden, etc.<\/p>\n

Try to include math in the way you design your elements!<\/strong> Can angles, perfect circles, and\/or Fibonacci play a role in your design? How will your elements work with the surrounding natural space rather than against it?<\/p>\n

Here are the steps for the project with a partner<\/span><\/span>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make an individual brainstorm plan<\/li>\n
  2. Measure the actual space. We will be basing it off of the space beyond the swings in the upper intermediate playground area.<\/li>\n
  3. Compare ideas with multiple classmates to further develop your ideas<\/li>\n
  4. Get a partner, and on grid paper, begin to plan out a space together. Each block is equal to 2 feet.<\/li>\n
  5. Start thinking with your partner about what the scale will be for the box I will provide for your project model. Set the scale and tell Ms. D.<\/li>\n
  6. Brainstorm what materials you may need. I have lots of things including pieces of wood, sand, clay, paint, and more, but maybe you want something specific from outdoors or from home?<\/li>\n
  7. Create the model! Go crazy!<\/li>\n
  8. Write an explanation and reflection about your model on your e-port. What went well in your design process? What would you change for next time? How did it go working with a partner? Do you think this model represents a natural space someone could actually build? Is it doable?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are the criteria, which will be put into a rubric for your thinking!<\/strong><\/p>\n
