Creating a Solar-Powered Classroom with Fourth Graders
Morrison, Scott; Sebens, Aaron
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v28 n3 p5-10 Jan-Feb 2016
Aaron Sebens and his fourth grade students received this congratulatory tweet from the White House as a response to the solar-powered classroom that they created in 10 weeks. The process--defining the goals, raising funds, construction, and implementation--involved many subject areas: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. This article describes how their project came about and what transpired in the classroom.
