  1. Bioswales • Hands-on activity • Earth and Space Science • Full lesson • Step 1: Reading activity • Step 2: Explore available materials • Step 3: Design a Bioswale

  2. Bioswales:Your Group Packet • Lesson Plan • Vocab Alert! • Article • Exploration Activity • Class Data Table • Data Analysis Activity • Data Table, Completed • Design Activity Our focus today

  3. Bioswales: Today’s Activity • Read the Bioswales article. • Use the Design Activity handout to • Fill in the criteria, priorities, and constraints sections. • Sketch two possible design for a miniature Bioswale. • Build a prototype of one of the designs. • Test it.

  4. Bioswales Design Sharing • What science concepts are involved? • What factors made your filter work better or worse? • What different designs did you see and which ones seemed the most effective? Why?

  5. Design Sharing (continued) • What happened when more filter material or layers were added? • Did the order of the filters seem to make a difference? • What general conclusions can we make about creating an effective bioswale?

  6. Design Sharing (continued) • What was the most difficult part of this activity? • What could be done to improve it?

  7. Small Group Discussion • What are some of the characteristics of the Engineering Design process? • How does the Engineering Design Process differ from Science Inquiry? • What are some of the benefits to using the Engineering Design when it comes to student learning?
