Science PD at the Parks 2.0: Mississippi River State Park
Science has always studied the natural world and the phenomena that fill it. And we who live in the Delta of Arkansas have greater access than many to such phenomena, especially in our area state parks! What’s more, using phenomena in our science classrooms has incredible benefits that include increased student engagement, easier classroom management, and authentic, meaningful scientific student-centered inquiry. In this laid-back session, we will nature-walk Mississippi River State Park (near Marianna, AR) to observe, collect, and study both natural and man-made local phenomena and discuss ways to use these in your classroom. If you have young children, you can bring them, too! The three-hour session will be in the morning before temperatures get too hot and will include a guided tour from park staff (COVID protocol permitting). Snacks and plenty of cold water will be provided.
Please be sure your email address on file in ESCWorks in updated to the address you check often over the summer so that you are sure to get important messages leading up to this session.
IN THE EVENT OF BAD WEATHER, I PLAN TO MAKE UP THIS SESSION
