|
| Inquiry in the Schoolyard |
|
|
| Teachers will delve into their own ecological investigations
to understand the nature of scientific inquiry, and how to use the
skills and processes of inquiry for themselves. A goal of this workshop
is to help teachers become more knowledgeable about and comfortable
in their schoolyard. |

| School Gardens 101 |
|
|
| “All we ever do in our garden is pull weeds!”
Learn how to get beyond garden maintenance and make your school garden
or habitat the centerpiece of the school. We’ll cover horticultural
practices to keep your garden low maintenance, and ways to infuse
the garden into every branch of the curriculum. |

| The Nature of Learning |
|
|
| Howard Gardner added the “naturalist intelligence”
to his theory, and Richard Louv coined the term “nature deficit
disorder.” There might be something to this nature education
thing… This workshop offers practical ways for teachers, nature-minded
or not, to put students back in touch with the natural world. |

|
| GrowLabs® in the Classroom |
|
|
| An indoor light garden, purchased or homemade, is a
valuable tool in the inquiry science classroom. Plant a question,
sprout a hypothesis, harvest your findings, then branch out to complete
the inquiry cycle. |
