Hi everyone,
This will be our final post and we would just like to sum up everything we have done thus far. When we started this project we were very excited to work with Glenside Elementary School and we are happy we were given the opportunity to help the kids of Glenside. When we decided to focus our research paper on nature deficit disorder we realized it was perfect for working with Glenside. Although our original plan which was to work with Glenside and participate in a Science Night where we would have science related activities to do for the kids. We weren’t able to help host a science night at Glenside because we were not able find a common time to have it with the other teams involved. Fortunately we were still able to create activities for the kids to take home and complete. We created bird feeder kits which consisted of pine cones and birdseed and so they can take them home, add peanut butter, roll in seeds, and hang up somewhere outside. We also created a worksheet for the kids to complete which also had a little scavenger hunt to find things such as a rock, stick, bug etc. We did this to connect with our research topic in hopes to get the kids outside to explore nature. As one of our final tasks we presented our service and knowledge about nature deficit disorder. We presented using a Prezi, the clickable link to our presentation is below. We learned a lot about nature deficit disorder and the importance of environmental education in schools during this project. I hope you all enjoyed following us throughout this crazy but knowledgeable experience.

Thank you!

I loved your activity for the kiddos! I think the more we can get them hands-on with their environment, the more motivated they would be to do these things on their own. Your presentation on your issue was also very interesting.
I’m sure the students at Glenside absolutely loved learning about the environment and ways to make it better! I am sure they loved everything that you did and will carry it with them for the rest of their lives!
Your guys sound like you did a good job at Glenside. Sounds like it was a lot of fun to plan the things you had for the students at the Science night and other activities. Also really love your team name!
Wow it sounds like your team really worked hard to teach the students at Glenside about the environment! Sounds like a lot of fun things you had planned for the students at the Science night and with the scavenger hunt great work! Im sure the students really appreciated all you did!
