What we did: A BRIEF Overview ofThe Plant Two Trees Project
Day 1: Started with quick brainstorm – “What are the benefits and dangers of trees?”
![Page 10: Plant Two Trees Project Real World Project Based Learning Sue Boudreau and Marshall Sachs Orinda Intermediate School](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051304/5a4d1b6c7f8b9ab0599b36e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What we did: A BRIEF Overview ofThe Plant Two Trees Project
Organized into 7 categories based on student responses
1. Benefits to Wildlife2. Benefits to Climate3. Benefits to Soil4. Psychological Benefits5. Products for people6. Benefits of native vs non- native species7. Cons / Dangers of trees

Day 2: Online ResearchStudents chose categories most interesting to themselves and conducted online research

Day 3: Planning Outside Research in Notebooks
-Students planned their own investigations to gather their own experimental evidence to support the benefits / dangers of trees they were interested in
-Teachers read / discussed experiments with students to offer feedback and coaching before beginning the next day
![Page 15: Plant Two Trees Project Real World Project Based Learning Sue Boudreau and Marshall Sachs Orinda Intermediate School](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051304/5a4d1b6c7f8b9ab0599b36e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Days 4 and 5: Outside Investigations
-Students conducted the experiments they had planned and recorded the data in their notebooks

Day 6: Each class chooses 4 ranked locations-Based on the evidence gathered from research and experiments students decided on 4 possible locations for planting on a map

Day 9-12: Writing Grant Proposals!
-Students researched cost, planting, and care of saplings
-Used evidence from notebooks and posts on bulletin boards to write proposal
-Template provided structure, and included graphics / diagrams
![Page 21: Plant Two Trees Project Real World Project Based Learning Sue Boudreau and Marshall Sachs Orinda Intermediate School](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051304/5a4d1b6c7f8b9ab0599b36e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Day 13: Present to Principal and/or Parents Club Presidents.We gave the principal several of the best grant proposals from each class to choose from. He then came in and announced his decisions and gave a certificate to students whose grants won. Several district-level problems came out at this late stage – run it by grounds staff/chief, check policies about fruit trees on campus etc.
Day 14: Decision day and Planning:
Schedule buying and procuring of equipment, saplings and day to plant.In addition to the saplings, we purchased fertilizer, gopher small gauge chicken wire baskets to protect the root balls, netting and 6ft sticks to hold the netting.

Once we knew what trees and supplies were needed we partneredwith a local nursery that delivered the trees later on in the year.
A staff person from the nursery came out to some periods to teach how to plant the trees properly.
Planting Days!
