Science is meant to be hands on. This should not be limited by age, background, or learning ability. Doing hands-on projects will allow students to not only learn science, but experience science. Designing projects in this way enables all students to access the information and feel empowered by their learning.
Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse Through Gardening is a hands-on project. Students will be building and designing experiments knowing that the zombies are all around them. They will be learning about all aspects of plant biology from seed to harvest. The saws and drills will be used to build planter boxes, vermiculture bins (worm boxes!), and potentially even a greenhouse (I have trouble telling my students no!). The hydroponics units will be used to show students that dirt is not always necessary to grow plants and how it can save water as a resource. We will also be exhibiting our work for parents, teachers, students and community members and the tools will help up build items to bring the project alive. Finally, all of these materials will be used for the gardening club and future projects I have planned ranging from nutrition to ecology.
