  • Math educators interested in incorporating field data sets in the classroom.
  • Interested educators needing Professional Development hours.

This program will introduce participants to a variety of terrestrial and aquatic habitats as we explore various topics in the biological and environmental sciences, including general ecology, population dynamics, community interactions, field sampling techniques, endangered species conservation, biodiversity, water pollution, resource use and biostatistics.
Participating science educators will be better prepared to incorporate student-collected data sets and investigations into the lab and lecture components of their curricula.

Facilitators of independent study or honors science programs will be able to diversify the opportunities for their scholars.

Teachers and districts considering expanding their AP* offerings will be prepared in field and lab techniques that will support new curricula.

Field trip planning, group management techniques, curriculum mapping and interdisciplinary opportunities will be explored.
