By providing students with natural materials to learn and explore, they are able to experience nature in the classroom. Many of these students are unable to regularly experience nature in areas like green, open spaces. These students are limited in this community. Natural Loose Parts are perfect for allowing students to experience nature while exploring and creating. Loose Parts play provides an open-ended way for students to use critical thinking. Many of the students in this classroom live in apartments or homes that do not provide enough space for them to experience gardening. The Eco-Biosphere would help students learn about how things grow in nature. In this way, students will be able to learn the importance of caring for our environment. This would also empower them to think about their own impact on the environment. They will also learn about healthy choices when it comes to what they eat. By enhancing learning in the classroom with natural items, students will be able to learn about the world around them. This connection will help them feel a sense of place wherever they go. This is something everyone needs, especially right now. By connecting to nature and the world around them, students will feel a sense of stability wherever they go.
