Workshop Cancelled.
Target grades: K-12
Subject areas: Science teachers
Join educators from Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and Dutchess County BOCES for a one-day workshop diving into the connections between food, soil and climate change. Participants will engage in schoolyard ecology protocols they can implement with their students, build skills for project design and assessment and increase their content knowledge in climate science and its relationship to soil health and food production.
We'll focus on developing our data analysis skills and learn new tools to bring back to our classrooms. We will discuss ideas for modifying workshop materials for all grade levels and science disciplines and invite all interested K-12 science educators to join!
This workshop is free for members of the Center for Sustainability and Climate Education.
All participants will know and be able to:
- Learn the how changes to weather patterns and global temperatures due to climate change impact soil health.
- Explore connections between soil health and food production.
- Conduct hands-on protocols to explore soil ecology.
- Learn the essential elements of project based instruction.
- Develop skills in designing and implementing formative and summative assessments in a project based unit.
