Collaboration Friday groups had to solve a huge problem! Jasper rabbit keeps eating all the carrots in our garden. How can we keep the rabbit out? How can we keep the rabbit from eating all of the carrots? After reading Creepy Carrots, students devised defense plans utilizing the materials they were given, for our garden owner to implement. Check out some of their awesome solutions.
Their solutions included: an electric fence, spy cameras, paper-wad shooters, traps, and more. Below one of our students explains her creation to keep the rabbits out of the garden.
