Gr. 7 Civilizations STEAM Project

The Grade 7s wrapped up their year with a culminating project that integrated Social Studies with Language Arts, Math, Science, and Art.

Working collaboratively in pairs, the girls created a civilization from the ground up. They chose an area in the world for their people to settle, investigated the natural features and resources, built a 3-D physical and resource map, wrote a myth and drew an image to represent it, created a flag, and designed a technology to solve a problem in their society. The maps and technologies were created with the help of Ms. Sharpe, our STEAM Coordinator.

The girls showed incredible creative and critical thinking skills, enthusiasm, collaboration, and commitment to complete this cross-curricular project! They proudly showed their work to students, teachers, and parents at an afternoon of sharing on June 21.
