Participants will learn about current research on connections between biogeochemical cycles and the relevance to the local Buzzards Bay Ecosystem. The material will align best with AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Environmental, however, all high school Biology teachers will find valuable and relevant material for their courses as well. The program assessments will include; both pre and post tests and a class lesson share. Participants will earn 10 PDP’s upon completion of the full program.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span
