Learning About the St.Lawrence Seaway Project
By Heidi Blokland
Our first ever school-wide Project-Based Learning! The driving question behind this project is: How has the Seaway Project been helpful and harmful to the community?
The primary grades have been learning about the St.Lawrence River with their stream table. A stream table is like a sandbox with running water, allowing students to create streams, rapids, and canals to better understand how a river can be changed.
Grades 3-8 were divided into groups, and learned about the St.Lawrence Seaway by buildings replicas and models. They presented their work to the classes, and will later present to an authentic audience made up of members of the Lost Village Historical Society.
