[SEMCO] Teachers' Professional Development Opportunity in Marine Science

Tue May 23 16:23:38 EDT 2017

Teachers - learn about water and marine science and ways to engage your
students in inquiry! Join the National Marine Life Center, Thornton W.
Burgess Society Green Briar Nature Center, Mass Audubon Long Pasture
Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Museum Institute for Teaching Science for a
professional development workshop this July.

Course Description:

Water, water, everywhere! The Bay State has a close relationship with water.
Perhaps nowhere is this relationship more relevant than on Cape Cod, with
its 560 miles of shoreline. Join us this summer as Cape Cod becomes your
living laboratory for inquiry and exploration about water. Learn about water
properties, coastal ecosystems, and marine science. Discuss environmental
and economic policy issues related to water, such as wastewater and tidal
power, and practice incorporating water-related current events into your
science classroom. Tour a marine animal hospital and examine the
relationship between marine life and their watery homes.

On your first day at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, you'll explore the
water cycle and properties of water and water chemistry, while engaging in
standards-based activities you can bring back to your classroom. At the
Thornton W. Burgess Society Green Briar Nature Center get involved in
something fishy: learn about local saltwater and freshwater fish, visit a
local fish hatchery, and bring back fisheries-related activities for your
students. Spend a day in Woods Hole, visit Kingman Yacht Center, and learn
about the unique ways they are managing wastewater. You'll also visit
science laboratories in Woods Hole and witness some of the science and
engineering practices and the instrumentation involved in studying ocean
processes. At Mass Audubon Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, you'll discover
the ways water is filtered in nature. Observe and explore vernal pool
ecosystems in the region and the possibility of creating a vernal pool
living lab at your school site.

Throughout the week, gain experience using the Science and Engineering
Practices to create exciting inquiry-based, "hands-on, minds-on",
interdisciplinary STEM investigations for your classroom. Engage with water
science to see what makes it important and relevant, especially for coastal
regions.
