Applying
First Principles to Learning Goal:
By posing the question “What kind of relationship do
rocks, soil, and water have in producing sustainable plant life,” allowing
students to investigate rocks, water, and soil and assigning students the task of building a garden I will be able
to apply the “First Principles” to my students learning. In the building of the
garden, I could model for students how to properly take care of the soil so
that the plants would grow. I could also bring in horticulturalist and have
them demonstrate the proper way to plant a garden. Also, students would have
access to the internet in order to research proper gardening techniques as well
as find information about plants, water, soil, rocks, and the sun. Students
will be working in cooperative groups to build their garden and collaborate
with experts to share ideas, concerns, and successes. Students will demonstrate
their knowledge and understanding of the importance of water, soil, and rock by
presenting to the city council, landscaping ideas to improve their local
community. Included in the project must be visuals, cost, how sustain the
development long term, safety plans for the environment and explanation of how
this will improve the city.
