ECO ISLAND PROJECT
OBJECTIVE
Have school age students explore sustainability issues through a hands-on design project. Team work, negotiations, an exploration of basic needs and higher wants, and hand drawing are emphasized.
MATERIALS
Poster board, color markers, rulers. Templates for sports fields, buildings, etc. to give a sense of scale. Eco-Island cards.
ACTIVITY
Work in a team with one other student to each design their half of an island with the aim of ecological sustainability, civility, and beneficial association with the other half of the island.
The features of each half of the island are determined by the random drawing of cards and for some items, the roll of dice.
