Third graders at Triton Elementary School celebrated Earth Day in a special way this year. They participated in many earth friendly learning events about plants and how they are important to our world. Teams studied plant parts and how those parts work to help the plant, sprout, grow, and reproduce. Students have also been involved in planting sunflowers to watch and record how the environment affects them, along with some experimentation on how different materials react in order to determine their capillary action.
Students took this knowledge and put it to use in solving an engineering design challenge to create flowers that would be colorful, and include important plant structures with working capillary action.
As a visual for all of you who have been saving bottle caps for Triton Elementary School, we have a picture of a bag with approximately 500 pounds of caps. These bags full of caps will be headed off to Green Tree Plastics in Evansville, to be made into benches for the playground and courtyard area at Triton..
To date, our community has collected 5 of these bags. This is 2500 pounds saved from our landfills that will be turned into something that many will enjoy for years to come.!
