Outdoor Ed: Portable Hand-Washing Station
The class: Outdoor Education. The challenge: to create an outdoor hand-washing station using everyday things you can find in your home.
In this video, our outdoor ed teacher Mr. Neale shows middle school students how he created a simple apparatus you can use to wash your hands when camping, on a kayaking trip, or at the beach.
Create a portable and water friendly wash station for field trips and camping trips.
