STEAMed About Climate Change

The middle school students are preparing for the annual art show.  This year's theme is climate change.  They have been learning about climate change in science class and in art class, and they are working on art and engineering projects that both highlight and offer solutions to problems associated with this growing problem.  Below are some works in progress.  The art show will be April 20th at Prescott from 5:30-7:00.  Students in grades K-5 are also encouraged to enter the show by creating art with recycled plastic bottles.  See Ms. Ammons for details!

8th Graders built working wind turbines and turned them into artistic mobiles.

7th Graders are creating Chihuly-inspired fire sculptures with research facts on the base.  Their research and the sculptures will be an installation about how climate change is contributing to an increase in frequency and severity of forest fires.
