Sustainable Cities PBL Project & Model

This toolkit allows your students to use project based learning to ideate and construct a small scale city.  Designed to accompany teaching topics in sustainability or environmental science, it is the perfect blend of planning, researching and hands-on construction.  As a toolkit, it is designed to last roughly 1.5-3 weeks, provided students have background knowledge and use in class time to research, plan, collaborate, write and construct models. It can easily be adapted to take more time if desired.

It includes a general project framework that can be tailored to your classroom, printable templates for houses, businesses, office buildings, roads, a windmill, trees and a skyscraper.  Students color, cut, and attach buildings onto a base such as poster paper, or cardboard depending on availability.  These templates are great for individual projects, collaborative group work, or even a whole class project to showcase student vision about creating a sustainable future.
