These tools are needed to teach students about two major topics: one is providing a habitat for native plants and wildlife like butterflies. And second the benefits of having rock gardens and how they control erosion of soil at school campuses and allow water to infiltrate soil, thus recharging our drinking water. Most schools across the country have a flat roof system that has giant gutters that shoot rainwater from the gutter straight into a storm drain. This garden will not only teach about the erosion of soil and recharging our aquifer but also create a thriving and sustainable ecosystem that will support native plants, and native wildlife like birds and pollinators. By teaching students the benefits of riparian grasses that stabilize soil and prevent erosion students can see many systems at work and then go out into their communities and build similar systems to create systemic change. Students will be able to not only observe but physically manipulate many hard to teach standards such as: the rock cycle, the carbon/oxygen cycle, weathering, erosion, and deposition of sediment, the structure and function of native plants, photosynthesis and the water cycle. This garden will be used and observed by the whole school, giving the lower grades something that not only looks nice but creates environmental positive change. This garden will give the upper grades a hands-on approach to learning science standards that are typically not available to see at school.
