Outside Learning: It’s Elementary

Science and Children—October 2001

Through a partnership with elementary teachers at Main Elementary School in Rome, Georgia, 42 children (one third-grade class and one fourth-grade class) learned how to use newspapers to rebuild slopes on their schoolgrounds that had been eroded by runoff. The project made environmental issues come alive for students, teachers, and professors as students reconstructed their ideas about their neighborhood and their role as stewards.
