In this lesson, students apply an invention education framework to identify a local soil, water, or agricultural challenge by connecting traditional knowledge, climate impacts, and community needs. Students research and write a problem statement to guide the development of sustainable solutions.
Inquire: Students synthesize their knowledge and understanding of soil health, water harvesting, and climate connections from lessons 1-3.
Investigate: Students learn about and engage in the invention process to identify specific local challenges and write a problem statement.
Inspire: Students examine sustainable agricultural inventions and engage in guided research to establish criteria for their design solutions.
