Describe (in detail) what you presented on EARTH Day. Be sure to describe your "hook," your activity, and your "wrap up" in enough detail that next year's groups will be able to use it and improve upon it.
My Earth Day project was focused around informing students about their ecological footprint. My group and I started off with a brief activity. In this activity we had each student grab a handful of legos and build a structure in two minutes. At the end my group and I explained how these legos represented natural resources, we went on to explain how natural resources are being degraded and how we can save them. My group and I concluded with an activity in which each student traced their foot and decorated it along with writing one word as to how they can reduce their ecological footprint.
Please describe in detail suggestions you have for improving your presentation if it were to be done in the future.
I found this project to be very successful. There are though to things that I feel could greatly improve the quality of the project. One, I feel that the legos served as a distraction, therefore, right after the first activity is over, someone in the group must take the legos to allow the students 100% focus. Secondly, I feel that my group and I were pressed for time, but that was out of my group's control.
