Floating garden challenge

8th Jun 2018

P6/7 were completing a technology challenge linked to their World Around Us topic of Impact.  We have been finding out about how different ecosystems are impacted by human activity and the resulting climate change.  This week we have been exploring the causes and effects of drought and flooding. 

We sorted and described pictures before working in groups to design floating gardens that would allow crops to grow in flooded areas.  This is similar to the farming techniques used by the people in Bangladesh.  

We had great fun being creative with our designs and models and are excited about testing them with weights and then planting seeds in them next week.
