Final Presentation

This project, both the research aspect and the community action, has opened our eyes to many new things. After doing research and learning so much about climate change, we know what changes we can make and encourage others to make in order to help put a stop to climate change. The information we learned throughout this project is something we may have not learned without this project so we are thankful for that. As for the community action aspect of this assignment, we could not be more grateful to have been able to work with Glenside Elementary School. The students‘ response to the activities we provided was so rewarding to experience. Seeing the children be so involved in the Fall Festival and Mathletics Night, sharing in that involvement and playing a part in their learning was so special to us. We are so glad we chose to work with Glenside, it could not have went any better.

Math/Science Night at Glenside Elementary School (Funky Monkeys) November 20, 2015

At Glenside Elementary School we have participated in the Fall Festival and the Math/Science Night. The second event we did at Glenside Elementary was the Math/Science Night on November 19, 2015 from 5:30-7:00 pm. During this event we engaged the kids in a math hopscotch activity. This is when we gave them various math questions such as 3 x 2 = 6. The kids answered these questions by playing hopscotch and hopping over the number they got as their answer to the equation. Another activity we did was a science activity which included a introduction of physics. We filled cups with water, placed a paper clip at the bottom of each of the cups. We then used a magnet on the outside of the cup to attract the paper clip and bring it outside of the cup of water. This activity was showing how magnets worked together to enforce gravity. The kids enjoyed participating in both activities. We had a great time working with the kids!

Fall Festival at Glenside Elementary School (Funky Monkeys) October 31, 2015

On Wednesday October 28th, we went to Glenside Elementary School to participate in the Fall Festival. We had two tables per activity, the activities were a big hit! The kids loved matching the animals with the food they thought that the animal ate. Additionally, kids were given a fun quiz in which they learned even more about the animals. The kids loved the bird-feeder activity. As take aways we let the kids keep the bird-feeder they created so they could hang it at home or at school. We had a great time working with the kids and helping them learn more about the environment and how they can contribute. It was very exciting to see that many kids were eager to learn and participate. We look forward to working with the kids in late November for the math and science night.

In the Funky Monkeys Team there is Keerti Sharma, Angela Feick, and Elizabeth Fey. We will be assisting in the Fall Festival and Mathletics. Keerti is a Finance major and a sophomore, Angela is an Advertising major and a sophomore, and Elizabeth is a Human Development and Family Studies major and a junior. We chose to work with Glenside Elementary because we enjoy being creative, doing crafts, and helping kids be aware of the environment. We think the Fall Festival and Mathletics will be a great way to do so.
