Question

Several groups of fourth and fifth graders at an elementary school are working on a long-term science project involving the creation and ongoing care of community gardens. In each group, members have to work together to decide which vegetables to plant and how to address pest problems (e.g., insects) in environmentally friendly ways. They will eventually showcase their produce at a local farmer's market. In what way might this project encourage critical

thinking?

Because they will be showcasing their produce at a local farmer's market, students will have to keep their fingers crossed that they are making good choices.

The project will challenge students' existing epistemic beliefs about the importance of a healthy environment for human beings.

Students need to evaluate the potential viability of various vegetables and various strategies for pest control.

In this authentic activity, students are likely to be intrinsically motivated to engage in divergent thinking.
