Tuesday, January 21, 7:00 pm Eastern – Teaching Science Standards with Native Plants, Online
Calling all educators, caregivers and camps. For your New Years Resolution, resolve to incorporate a free curriculum and native plants into your academic plans with this Grow Native Mass webinar on January 21.
Join educator and nursery owner Jocelyn Demuth to explore her new science curriculum Five Hundred Yard Field Trip. Developed with grant funding from the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, these curricula include ready made lessons, activities, and reading practice designed to help students create a habitat using native plants and learn about the ecosystem created. The units are leveled by age group, comprised of modules that can be used as stand-alone lessons, and reference grade level science standards for MA and other states. All lessons are free to download and instructors can take advantage of grant funds to obtain free native plants to use in their projects.
This is a great opportunity for teachers, parents, and caregivers to learn more about this great resource, and ask questions of its creator!
