While walking around the Steel Stacks, I found myself brainstorming on how I could incorporate this historic site of the Lehigh Valley into my future curriculum. What a great opportunity for the students to have this historic site right in their backyard. The subject I finally decided to focus on was succession. Being a science educator, I think it is very important for students to not only be able to relate science material to important aspects of their daily lives such as local places, but also get hands on experience. The Steel Stacks site would be a great place for this. If I was going to incorporate the Steel Stacks into a succession lesson, I would make this a field trip. In the classroom, I would have my students learn about succession and then wrap up the unit by having the students take a field trip to the Steel Stacks and complete a final assessment. That final assessment would be to research the Steel Stacks and what it looked like while it was still in use and then compare that to what it looks like today. While I was at the Steelstacks, I pretended  I was one of my students and took pictures like I was assigned this project. Below are some pictures I used for brainstorming this lesson.
