5th Grade Rain Garden Design Challenge Lesson Plan

Rating

This lesson engages 5th grade students in identifying areas of erosion and non-point source pollution entering waterways on school property, making a claim on the most suitable site to locate a rain garden by conducting field tests on slope and soil type, and testing
for the presence of phosphates in waterways on school forest property. Students then compete in a rain garden design challenge using their data to create a poster presentation, including a map and claim evidence reasoning, for the best rain garden design plan, scored using a rubric.

ARIS Basics Video Course

Rating

In this ~1 hour online video course, you will learn to use the ARIS authoring tool to create a GPS based game (like pokemon go!) about a a historical event.

The purpose of the course is to provide a primer on using the ARIS tool and to introduce a form of media we call a "situated documentary," where a documentary plays out in the locations in which the events occurred.
