This project is a partnership between Dr. Maher's geology students, Mrs. Brown's 5th grade science students from St. James Seton, and Prairie STEM. Together, the students use technology from Prairie STEM to study what happens to rain water and create a final product that represents their work. The product will be donated to Prairie STEM so they can show it to future students as an example of what projects they can do. | ||
