In our Wilderness Project, take on 4 aspects of life in the wilderness: Shelter, water, fire and safety.  We’ll learn about how humans have historically used shelter and the materials they use to construct them.  Students will build table top shelters and work together to build a large, collaborative shelter.  How do humans use fire and how is it beneficial?  Students learn the basic chemistry of fire and learn what materials do and don’t burn.  We tackle fire safety and fire week culminates is building fires.  The importance of clean water, the three states of water, the watershed and water filtration will be our focus the third week and we’ll learn about first aid, act out rescue scenarios, learn about what you need in a first aid kit, and common plants that should be avoided when in the wilderness.

In this project based course, students will explore 4 crucial topics that contribute to our everyday recipes and nutritional needs as humans: salt, fat, heat, and vitamins/nutrients. For each of these topics, students will analyze and research the way we incorporate and utilize these particular concepts in our diets through experiential learning and exploration with recipes and flavors using the basic culinary and nutritional building blocks of salt, fat, heat, and vitamins/nutrients.

Using their background knowledge of habitats and biomes, students will dive deeper into the types of camouflage and mimicry and the reasons why certain animals developed these adaptations to survive. Students will build an understanding of concealed coloration, disruptive coloration, disguise, and mimicry to further develop their knowledge of this concept through creative and interactive hands on projects throughout the course.

For our final project based learning course of the season, students have the opportunity to investigate 4 main parts of our body: blood, hands, brain, and lungs. Throughout each session, students will be able to create models that demonstrate their learning and understanding of how these specific parts of their body work and function in their daily lives. This course incorporates many sensory activities for students to enjoy.
