Our class was learning virtually at the time. Each student was given the option to choose a renewable or non-renewable energy source and research the pros and cons of that source. They filled out a Google Doc that was a copy of the worksheet. Here are 2 students' work.

Students worked in groups of 4 and created their own videos. As a class, we then voted for the one that we wanted to submit to the CEDC. The class had a great time creating and working together on this challenge.

Students kept track of their water usage on two different days. They tried to use less on the second day. Many found this to be challenging but enjoyed learning how much water they used.

We started this challenge just before the last school closure was announced. Students were placed in groups of 3-4 and created a meal that included an appetizer, side dish, a main, a dessert and an optional drink. We decided to call this "What's for Dinner?" instead of Lunch so that the meal can be bigger and more interesting. We discussed sourcing local markets in order to keep our carbon footprint small. This was a fun challenge for the class but proved to be a little challenging to complete as we had to work on it online instead of at school.

Description

Students brought in recyclable materials from home as well as items that they are no longer using. They were instructed to make a model or object of something. Some students changed their minds as they began working as they encountered some obstacles. They all enjoyed building/creating something entirely by themselves.
