MAS staff will show you the
benefits of setting up simple but effective discovery centers in your classroom
by bringing nature indoors. This program demonstrates the importance of
child-generated investigations, observations and organizing of data. Activities
include setting up simple terraria, sensory focus stations and designing
creature “comfort zones” in your classroom. All teacher handouts and materials
included.
Turn everyday recess into a
focused science activity! MAS staff will prepare a variety of activities and
experiments that demonstrate simple steps to make the most of your school yard
and open spaces. Weather patterns, soil sampling, microhabitats, and collecting
techniques and tools will be introduced. Schoolyard surveying tips and all
teacher handouts will be provided. Note: Program will be conducted outdoors if
weather permits.
Whether preparing for winter
or waking up to spring, seasons mean change for all living things. Adaptations,
habitats, tracks and signs are the focus and environmental stresses and
challenges are the focus of this 2.5 hour workshop. Activities presented can be
modified for the field or the classroom. Teacher handouts and materials are
included. Note: Program will be conducted outdoors if weather permits.
This workshop introduces a
wide variety of simple and fun practices that celebrate renewable resources and
demonstrates smart environmental choices. Come learn simple and effective ways
to teacher your students how to conduct
a home survey that will show them how much energy, water, and electricity they
use in their home and simple activities and experiments that teach them how to
reduce, reuse and recycle! Activities include vermicomposting, landscaping
ideas, air and noise pollution indicators, and more. Teacher handouts and
materials are included.
