Taking kids outside to do science is one of the best moments of the school year. Not only can you teach state objectives, but you have the opportunity to inspire them to protect a little part of our world. Come join me while I share a ton of outdoor experiences (25+ activities) used to teach students at Holt High School and focus on how some outdoor activities can be used over and over to collect data and help provide evidence for climate change. We will perform some of these activities while discussing others, and attendees will get digital copies of the questions used with students. Please reach out to conference@maeoe.com with any questions or accessibility requests. Location: Ligon Outdoor Center at 5213 East Farrand Road, Clio, MI 48420 Time: Thursday, October 1 from 12:30p.m. to 3:30p.m. Arrival: Please park in the designated parking spaces. There will be a short walk on an unpaved walking trail to the outdoor pavilion. Signage will be posted to direct you to the exact location on campus of this workshop. A shuttle car can be available upon request. Session Outcomes: 1. Be empowered to try a couple of these activities with their students and get them outside and learning. 2. Feel comfortable leading all ages out into the field and using nature as their classroom. 3. Collect yearly data and use that data to examine the effects of climate change in their small corner of the world.
