Directions for Module 3 - (Target Completion: May 6)
For Module 3, students will develop a plan for your school to start composting. If the school already has a composting program, they should try to improve it. The Engineering Design Process can help students develop this plan, evaluate it, and make improvements after you start composting in Module 4. Resources to help students learn can be found on the Module 3 Resources Page.
Some of the questions that should be addressed:
After they learn, students will create a digital artifact that shares their learning with others.
Finally, you or your students should share their digital artifact(s) on Twitter and/or Instagram using the hashtag #educomposting so that other classes can learn from your students. Also, allow your students to see what others have shared.
