Learn how outdoor projects, exploration, and investigations provide fantastic opportunities for project-based learning that addresses Iowa Core Science Standards. We will demonstrate how to bundle your favorite Project WILD and Aquatic WILD activities with field investigations to create project-based learning units. Much of this “flipped” professional development will be spent creating your own path through a host of nationally developed and tested resources to engage your students in authentic inquiry through modeling, discussion, and practice using your school yard or a local natural area and your classes as the framework.
Participants
should bring a laptop or notebook, information about their school site or a
nearby natural area, their science standards (and/or other relevant standards),
and relevant curriculum resources for use with workshop activities. Teaching
partners/groups are encouraged to facilitate planning/implementation of
projects. The registration fee includes materials.
