Description:
As California begins to adopt the Education and the Environment Initiative, teachers will be responsible for implementing lessons that show sensitivity to and understanding of the environment. One effective way to engage middle school students in studying environmental health is to provide them with hand-held sensors. In this workshop, middle school teachers will be introduced to hand-held sensors and will learn how sensors can be used to support student awareness of their environment. Participants will be taught by other middle school teachers who have participated in our IT-E3 Initiative (INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TOOLS) over the past year.

With this workshop, you will receive:
- Lesson plan ideas and handouts
- Individualized assistance in using the sensors from data collection to analysis

Prerequisites:
-Must be a current middle school teacher
-Comfortable using the Mac or PC operating system

Registration is free. Refreshments will be served. Space is limited.

Location:

San Diego Supercomputer Center Training Room 279 University of California, San Diego San Diego, California
