Sixth grade students completed an interdisciplinary STEAM project centered around the challenges surrounding the availability and use of water. Students began with research on the impacts of water scarcity as they prepared for a debate on the Tri-State battle between Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Next, they chose a method to improve the state of water usage and brainstormed, designed, and planned a partial solution to the problem. Finally, they built prototypes of their proposed solutions and presented them to their classes. The best solution in each class was then presented to the rest of the grade level.
