This program’s design will cover the Advanced Placement, NGSS and MA State
Frameworks dealing with the interactions and cross connections of the
biogeochemical nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon cycles.  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.
