Students in my Scientific Research & Design course have waited all year for their outdoor gardens, box turtle habitat, native prairie, and butterfly beds to grow and now they aren't able to be on campus to see their hard work in full bloom. This unique urban outdoor classroom also serves as a resource for my Pre-AP Biology students for topics such as natural selection and ecology. Because my students aren't able to see the school's Sky Prairie and other campus green spaces in person, I would like to bring the prairie and gardens to them. I currently have the tripod and an iPhone camera but I'm missing a strong wireless audio component. As I am outdoors in an urban environment, a wireless microphone would allow me to record clearer sound as well as create better quality presentations and freedom of movement. These videos would be uploaded to my class YouTube channel as well as to the course's online platform and EdPuzzle. These videos will also serve as tool for community partners and school families to learn and grow with us.
