WEATHER MUSEUM EXHIBITS

The Eighth grade science classes learn about weather and create museum-like exhibits, inspired by a trip to the Boston Museum of Science. At the museum they take notes on what types of exhibits are most-engaging and educational. The design thinking process is used to explore about how best to teach these newly acquired weather concepts to their 7th grade peers. The project took them through the entire process and they completed numerous prototypes. The project culminated with a pop-up science fair in the MacDowell Center where they showed their users and the community what they'd learned through the month-long process.
