Fun Activity

At the design club on Wednesday, everything seemed to go very smoothly. All the kids from the week before were back and they all seemed pretty excited about what we were working on. They liked the pizza that they got, but they inhaled it in about a minute. All of the students surprisingly new a lot about green roofs and the benefits of green roofs. I was working with the same two girls that I have worked with in the past and they were both really into the idea of green roofs.

When we started working on the activity they really got into it. There were many different uses that they knew they wanted included in the roof, but there were also many things that they knew they did not want on the roof. For example, they absolutely knew that they wanted to be able eat lunch on the roof and work on the roof for different science projects.

On their roof, they split it up into two different parts. One was social and the other one was educational. The social area was to be used for lunch and breaks. The educational area was going to be used for different planting/ botany projects.

I really felt that this activity turned out really well and got the kids engaged and thinking about what they would want in their new school.
