Most
of the time when students are at school, they are sitting inside
a classroom at a desk, working on assignments. Sometimes they might look
out the window and wish they could be outdoors. Teachers wish this sometimes
too. What if the school had an outdoor area for special learning activities?
Goals
- To provide an effective outdoor place for students to learn about
weather, plants, animals, geology, history, and many other subjects
- To make the schoolyard a better habitat for plants and animals
- To reduce soil erosion that contributes to waterway obstruction
- To improve
an unattractive view
Materials
Design, purposes, and construction decisions will dictate the types of
supplies needed. The list below indicates basic materials if students
are to do the construction:
- Site

- Mulch and topsoil
