Advanced Lesson 6.7 Water Boss

Lesson Overview

How many ways can you think of to move water? This lesson challenges students to devise unique and creative ways to move water everywhere it is needed in the Lab.

Teach the Teacher

  • How Water Treatment Plants Work
  • History of Irrigation

Method

The desire we hold for every ELL is that it become sustainable and self-reliant. The means to accomplish this will be found in technology, both new and old.

How could your Lab move water from one area to another without power? Could old technologies be resurrected to solve the problem?

Create a plan, and be creative, to manage and move water throughout your Lab including any growing areas you might have outside.
