6th Grade Technology ideas
Technology projects:
These resources comes from high tech middle school in San Diego, CA
Project 1:
How can humans create sustainable and efficient modern urban ecosystems?
Short Description:
Students will discover how
humans interact with nature in urban ecosystems. They will understand
the terms sustainable and efficient in order to apply them to designing
improved modern cities. Students will research green building
techniques, alternative transportation options and alternate energy. As a
class, students will collaborate in both science and humanities classes
to present their research in an Urban Ecology Magazine. The class goal
is to publish our magazine in time for the HTM annual Exhibition Night
in order to educate our community on this pertinent and contemporary
topic.
