2-5 HUB - Species Survival

 In 2-5 HUB, our current driving question is, "How can we design a solution that will help an animal thrive?" We kicked off the unit by learning about an animal who was not thriving, Winter, a dolphin who lost her tail. As we learn about Winter, our inquiry has centered around the question, "How can we design a prosthetic that will help Winter thrive?" Students investigated ways that animals move through water and learned to use a new tool, TinkerCAD, to design a prosthetic tail for Winter. 

As we move deeper into this unit, we will begin researching endangered species, and as a final project for the unit, students will design a solution to help protect an endangered species of their choice. This week students are also starting a new Technology class with Ms. Cheyenne, where they will be exposed to even more new technology tools that they can opt to use in this or future HUB projects.
