The purpose of this 9-hour series of workshops is to provide weekly guidance for teachers to learn about all six available Systems Education Experiences (SEE) Modules (listed below) from Institute for Systems Biology that are climate-themed. The purpose of learning about the modules is to give teachers the ability to implement the pertinent lessons, pedagogical strategies, and/or entire modules in your classroom.
Modules available to implement:
- OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: Leading your class through collaborative ocean acidification research that leads to hope and action.
- INVISIBLE FOREST: Using STEAM, project-based learning, and big data to investigate the invisible forest.
- BIOENGINEERING A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: Using STEM and algae to bioengineer a more sustainable world
- CARBON’S FATE: Using hands-on investigations and big data to understand carbon’s influence on ocean and earth systems and why it matters.
- FOOD SECURITY: Guide students through an interdisciplinary STEM approach to understanding and taking action to improve food security.
- ECOLOGICAL NETWORKS: Lead your students through a collaborative hands-on microbiology investigation that uncovers reverberating effects in ecological networks.
