Environmental Studies
Students at Washington Elementary STEM Magnet examine the relationships between natural and human-made environments. Students hone their problem-solving skills, recognizing that human actions can negatively affect the environment, and they can create ways to prevent these effects.
Beginning in kindergarten, students investigate ecological challenges, deepening their understanding of the natural world, human activities, community connections, commerce, and historical backgrounds. Students innovate and design solutions to address these changes and present their solutions and inventions to a variety of audiences.
