Rainbow Body Map project – all ages
Plant a seed and watch your garden grow. This hands on, 6-8 week project brings together the systems of the body, the science of the breath, the connection of the rainbow in our school gardens. What we grow, what we eat, how we breathe and move all works together. Life sized art, science and food discovery project! Our Island Grown Initiative is such a great fit, and when we combine our minds, great things happen!
What we’ve accomplished:
1.
making a multi-platform hands on, experiential science project that integrates garden, food, mind and breath, brain and systems of the body knowledge individually expressed in a life sized art project. All learners have a variety of ways to join in.
2.
combining indoor and outdoor, on the ground and out of the chair stimulation, regulation, exploration in less than 35 minutes.
3.
creating a bridge in learning and lessons – we cross pollinate classes, classrooms and subjects and we yield similarly expansive results in participation, collaboration and joy. Collaboration yields great outcomes – both for instructors and students.
