The Tamarack Elementary
STLP Team
Regional Projects for Showcase
Our 13 member team
consisted of 4 showcase
project groups.
Take a look at our projects.
Don’t be Mean, Go Green, Save the
Earth!
• We wanted to teach our
school easy ways they could
help save the environment
at home and at school.
• We created a Power Point
with fascinating facts and
real life impacts on the
Earth.
• Then we taught the Power
Point lesson teaching the
Three R’s: reduce, reuse,
and recycle.
Table Manners Matter
• We thought our lunchroom
needed better manners, so
we created a PowerPoint to
improve our lunch room
manners.
• We designed a video
showing how students
should and should not act in
the lunchroom. Creating a
script, gathered props,
shooting video, and then
editing our project.
Water Savers
• We created an aquaponic
system by improving an app
on our teammates iPod
touch. The amp allowed a
light to turn on and off to
help our herbs grow.
• We built an example using
herbs and pansies,
rainwater collected in a rain
barrel, and donated fish.
• A PowerPoint and a
brochure were completed
to explain our project.
Fit For You
• We wanted to inform
teachers about stretches
that they can do with their
students if it is raining or
unable to go outside.
• We created a PowerPoint
with interactive clips
explaining and modeling
various stretches.
• We used a camera and flash
drive to make our Power
Point with interactive clips.
Winter Judging
• Currently our STLP team members are working
on individual projects for winter judging and
live competition at State Showcase.
• Two of our projects scored over 100 at fall
showcase at WKU, Water Savers, and Don’t
be Mean, Save the Earth, Go Green. Those
members are developing their projects further
to prepare for State Showcase in March.
