Bottle Island Design

Tuesday April 9, 2014 8:30am
Thacher Montessori School, Milton, MA
An education event by Plotform

At Thacher Montessori School we worked with 1-3 grade children to think about the connections between recycling, climate change, materials, our city, flooding, islands, marshes, and art.  Students used their finger weaving projects, duct tape, and water bottles gathered from the school to make small islands that could float the crochet edging for Marsh Radio Island.  Students designs ranged from flowers to jet packs, abstract shapes to Hogwarts Castle, a football to an Xwing fighter, all of which can float in the water and be the basis for a salt marsh flotant.
