Making a pair of chopsticks from Taiwan cypress wood
To put into consideration both environmental and cultural experience, I think chopsticks will be the best representation. Chopsticks are shaped as pairs of equal length sticks that have been used as the eating utensil in Chinese history for at least two thousand years. Especially, we could use local-grown wood to make chopstick to highlight our “environmental protection” and “maker” specialties.
Rainwater harvesting system
To reply Global Warming and Climate Change, we built a Rainwater Harvesting System four years ago. The system can save 15 tons of rainwater to irrigate butterfly flowers and host plants. (Reference: https://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2015/07/us-taiwan-eco-campus.html) Therefore the garden is rich in butterfly diversity. According to our investigation, there are about 40 kinds of butterfly on the campus.
Signing on the World Map drawn by students
The world map is drawn by children and teachers. In the start, children draw crisscross grids on the wall. Then they outline each continent and each country on earth. The next step is to color each country (Reference: https://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2015/12/blog-post.html). Finally, we stamp our palm and foot prints on the wall. I really appreciate my coworker, Teacher Liu, who is the artistic director for the world map. We give the map a name: “Keep the world in Daping”. By the way, the maps of Taiwan and Miaoli County are drawn by me.

Return to the forest
In the presentation, I talk about the idea: Return to the forest! Thus I focus on our environmental education curriculum including three pathways: water, energy and biodiversity. In addition, I also outline how we interact with partner school, Tequesta Trace Middle School.

Stitching Chinese knot on the Hakka bag
Not long ago, Teacher Vivine taught students to stitch bags from the Hakka fabric which are used to pack chopsticks. (Reference: https://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2016/06/chopstick.html)
These semi-finished goods made by students will supply to U.S. teachers to complete. I hope it will become the significant cultural gift for the partnership teachers from America on July 13, 2016.

小雞破蛋!(Baby chick being born)
我原以為小雞是啄兩、三下,敲破蛋殼後就輕鬆跳出來,這可真的是科學迷思,一定是受到卡通影片的誤導啊!在我們執行人工孵蛋、溫控與翻蛋任務後的二十幾天,1月16日產下的那顆蛋,開始傳出微弱的小雞叫聲,真是令人振奮啊!再經過1天的努力,2月10日清晨5點,小雞終於奮力撐破蛋殼,跌跌撞撞地在小窩裡鳴叫著,開始了牠幸福的雞生!

翻轉學習的動手做—聖誕麋鹿
大坪國小自102年以來深耕「動手做」,每年聖誕節前夕,都讓孩子親手製作一棵小聖誕樹,材料取之於校園的枯木,附近森林撿拾的松果,透過工程技術與藝術美學創作出個人的聖誕樹,學習歷程請參考「聖誕樹DIY課程:http://ecodaping.blogspot.tw/2013/12/diy.html」。至今,創客精神蔚為風尚,孩子們都喜歡上動手做的課程,於是今年聖誕節前夕老師規劃了更複雜的任務—聖誕麋鹿創作。

探索臺灣精緻農業
搓揉過「愛玉」嗎?據說市面上許多愛玉都是以海菜粉製作的果凍所混充,真正的愛玉並不便宜,因為高海拔山區才產,愛玉後製處理又麻煩!苗栗區農業改良場透過技術改良,將愛玉引到低海拔的苗栗場區內栽種,同時也引進「愛玉小蜂」族群,愛玉因此能夠順利授粉、結果,造福百姓。
