Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n

Our time outdoors during this unit has resulted in some 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>\u00a0What natural elements would you include? Get creative! Remember, this is not a playground<\/span>, 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>\u00a0Can 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

Try to include some of the indigenous plants, trees, and shrubs we will talk about in class in your space!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the steps for the\u00a0project with a partner<\/span>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make an individual brainstorm plan (knowing you will need to adjust your ideas once you are with a partner). Look at the websites below for ideas.<\/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. Choose a partner you feel you can work with, and who has similar ideas (not your best friend — a classmate who can compliment your ideas.) If you are unable to get matched up, Ms. D will help. You may not work with a partner you have done things with before this year.<\/li>\n
  5. On grid paper, begin to plan out a space together. Each block is equal to 2 feet.<\/li>\n
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Write a quick explanation on your e-port for me by June 15th about what your plan is and why you are doing it the way you are.<\/li>\n
  9. Create the model! Go crazy!<\/li>\n
  10. Write a 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? Due by June 27th.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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