This professional development institute combines 16 hours of on-line instruction with a one-week on-site component. During the on-site component, spend a day at each partner institution’s site participating in hands-on inquiry investigations combined with content sessions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>Discover how plants and animals are dispersed across and adapted to the varied habitats within our aquatic, coastal and terrestrial landscape. Spend a day at a marine mammal rehabilitation facility as you investigate issues surrounding marine animal stranding, rehabilitation and release of sea turtles, seals and dolphins. Learn first-hand the science of animal behavior and how it is applicable both in the wild and in captivity as you experience what it takes to meet animals' physical and mental emotional needs in zoos. The experience becomes hands-on as you create an echogram, observe a training session, make enrichment items and participate in a behavioral training session. Get wet and salty as you explore a coastal ecosystem and discover how resident organisms are adapted to life in an extremely variable environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>Throughout the course we will utilize a variety of tools, methods, technologies and your background knowledge to identify adaptations that plants and animals may have to survive and thrive in a given habitat. Through online lessons, hands-on activities that demonstrate learning progressions and group discussions we will explore ways to excite and educate your students about science, technology and math!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>This course is targeted at Grades 3-8 Educators.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>Course Dates:<br>June 21 Introductory Session (8:30 am - 12:30 pm);<br>June 30 - August 8 on-line;<br>July 21 - 25 on-site (9 am - 3:30 pm)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>Registration Fee (50 PDPs):<br>$375/individual;<br>$325/team of 2 or more teachers from same school district<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>Graduate Credit Offered (4 credits, 90 PDPs):<br>Cambridge College - $200;<br>Framingham State University - $225<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222'>For more information and to register, visit the Museum Institutes for Teaching Science website at: <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fmits.org%2F2014-summer-professional-development-institutes%2F&ust=1402684813966000&usg=AFQjCNHHwpAHVOK8HG0gFdqKq0C-lpk3FA" target="_blank">http://mits.org/2014-summer-professional-development-institutes/</a> .<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <b>Kathy Zagzebski</b></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> President & Executive Director</span></i><i><o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> The National Marine Life Center</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> P.O.
