Goal

Students will be able to connect our learning in the classroom to the nature around them and their school and community. This will engage students to be more active in mastering the content and inspire many to continue being good stewards for nature in the future.  

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to go outdoors to our school retention pond, a field or forest within walking distance to the school, or eventually take a field trip to a local state park and use the scopes to see the topics of environmental science that we are discussing in class in action. The ability of the scopes to use a smart phone to take a picture of what is seen in the scope serves as a motivator for students to find the coolest shots and share them in their social media.  

Benefits to my students

This will allow students to apply the learning that is in the book, which should happen in environmental science anyways. But, instead of looking under rocks or dead trees, students will be able to incorporate this cool technology in their quest and easily keep a memorable keepsake of a wildlife photo that they took themselves!
This will definitely inspire many students to be outside more, to enjoy nature, and to be lifelong stewards of our environment.  

Budget Narrative

There is only one item needed for this project, the students will use their own smartphones to take pictures. The project will span over many years as the scopes are reuable.
