Let's Take It Outside!
Data Apps and Citizen Science to meet WI & NGSS Standards
March 29, 2021, 3:45-5:00 pm - Virtual Learning
Let's Take it Outside and do some STEM in the outdoors! NGSS and the NEW Wisconsin Science Standards emphasize doing science investigations and developing explanations over learning disconnected facts and theories. Citizen Science is a practical and fun way to achieve this goal. Students can collect data in your school and community and contribute to ongoing research, or create investigations of their own. Ideal for remote or blended learning. This session will take an integrated approach, looking at how to connect with math, art, social studies, physical education and career education. We will have some time for questions and planning so you can return to your classroom ready to Take it Outside!
Learning outcomes include:
- Understand the instructional shifts called for in the new Wisconsin Standards.
- Discover citizen science efforts and data apps appropriate for your grade level, PK-12.
- Explore how to best implement citizen science into your students' learning.
- Connect citizen science activities with Wisconsin Science Standards at your grade level.
