Fourth graders at Weaver Lake Elementary conduct a year-long investigation of Weaver Lake, and study a variety of different factors to determine the health and pollution level of the lake. One of those factors is the presence of certain macroinvertebrates. Students learn about different species of macroinvertebrates and spend time observing and identifying macros from samples of water from Weaver Lake, an activity which we call "Scoop and Snoop".
Then, students are given the challenge to engineer their own macro with adaptations that would help it to survive in a given habitat. Students engineered their macro out of clay and then described their creation using Adobe Voice.
