All Ages: General Sustainability Tour

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

During this hands-on tour of the EcoHouse, we explore many facets of sustainable living such as recycling and composting, energy conservation, renewable energy, sustainable transportation, wise water use, and gardening.

Kindergarten: Wiggly Worms & Waste

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Through storytelling and hands-on activities and games, we will explore “vermicomposting” and how different species of worms can assist us humans in creating some top-quality compost!

Grade 1: A Quest for Less

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will explore the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle)! They will learn to separate waste, recycling and compost (and reduce the amount of waste they create) by participating in the Waste Race game.

Grade 2: Don’t Let It Drip

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will embark on a journey through the stages of the water cycle as a water droplet. In this activity students will describe the movement of water within the water cycle.

Grade 3: Soil: It’s More Than Just Dirt

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will explore the important relationship between healthy plants and healthy soil! Through games and roleplay, students will learn what seeds require in order to germinate, grow and how humans can impact this process

Grade 4: Hazardous Habitats

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will engage in role playing games that allow a further understanding of the impact humans have on animal and plant habitats and communities as we focus on understanding life systems and the interconnection at play.

Grade 5: Partnership Tour

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Green Venture has a full-day partnership program with The Museum of Steam and Technology featuring curriculum-linked tours.

Grade 5: Watt a Waste

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Energy conservation is explored through interacting with features and displays at the ecohouse. We will investigate energy usage in everyday life, at home and school.

Grade 7: Humans & the Environment

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will investigate air quality (using our hand held air monitor), and how their daily lives affect it.  Students will experiment with our Raingers House Models, to see how simple technologies can affect stormwater management at home.

Grade 6 : Biodiversity: Closing the Loop

EcoHouse ToursBy Green VentureFebruary 27, 2019

Students will reflect on the interconnected systems of living things and learn the detriments that humans can create to these systems: from introduction of non-native plant species, to monoculture farms, and habitat destruction.
