Zoo Field Trip

What a beautiful day for a trip to the zoo!  They girls collected data in the form of drawings, photos and notes for their exhibition project.  Two wonderful zoo educators, Ms. Sharon and Ms. Lori, taught a Zoo Lab on the design process using the old penguin exhibit and the new penguin exhibit as an example.  The girls are working on this real life problem in art and technology: Design an exhibit that provides the animal, the visitor, and the zoo keeper with everything they need.  They are ready now to build their own designs! 

The ZooMobile

The girls had a great experience yesterday afternoon when the ZooMobile came with four different animals and some fun activities. They learned about the relationships and the components necessary to create an exhibit for an animal.  Ask your daughter if she was a polar bear, a zookeeper, or a visitor - they all need different things!
