ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Desert Greenhouses'

Liberty Elementary middle school teachers created a project based learning unit, which culminated in the creation of greenhouses in the desert. Middle school teachers were responsible for teaching modules: scale drawing and models, informational pamphlet, SketchUp drafting software, research, safety 101 - tools, putting the pieces together and problem solving. The final project was concluded by a school wide assembly presenting each greenhouse to K-8 classrooms and students. Upper grade levels were paired with younger grade levels to share and embrace this experience. Throughout the year, each grade level was responsible for planting and caring for their garden.
