Unit Overview
In this unit, students become environmental engineers as they work to save Danny the duck from a polluted pond. They’ll explore animal habitats and ecosystems, humans’ impact on the environment, and recycling and environmental stewardship as they engineer their own trash collectors. EiE® for Kindergarten follows a consistent lesson structure that builds student confidence and mastery.
Program Unit Components
We recommend one Educator Guide per teacher and one Materials Kit per 24 learners. Together, these components create a high-quality, hands-on STEM learning experience.
Designing Trash Collectors Materials Kit is currently out of stock. Contact us at 617-589-0230 or eie@mos.org for future shipment.
