THE SUSTAINABLE SCHOOL
A look back in time helps a sixth-grade class envision a greener, more sustainable future.
When construction at Birch Elementary uncovers a time capsule buried by the school's sixth-grade class in 1900 - the year the school was built! - Mr. Marons's current sixth-grade class is fascinated to discover letters from the students among the artifacts inside. Each of the letters describes the marvels of innovation in the new building in one of four categories - electricity, plumbing, building or transportation. These letters inspire an intriguing science assignment for the students: Come up with a prediction, related to one of the categories, for how the school will become more energy efficient by 2100!
