3rd Grade Antarctica

When they travelled to Antarctica as part of their global curriculum, 3rd Grade students grappled with the question, "How might we design gear to protect Antarctic explorers and scientists?" After learning about the high stakes environments scientists work in to pursue research and new discoveries, students chose to either reinvent goggles, boots, or jackets to help the scientists succeed. The 3rd graders built their prototypes in the Idea Lab and presented their final products in their homerooms.
