Explore Nature & Science with eBird Workshop (Ohio)

Cornell Lab is excited to invite you to register for this fun, three-day learning experience! You’ll practice citizen science, spend time outdoors, learn more about birds and how to attract them to your schoolyard, and take field trips. Choose from either the K-2 or 3-5 versions of eBird Explorers curriculum kit, and leave ready to use these hands-on materials in your classroom. Enjoy time exploring local habitats, seeing an example of how one local teacher has developed her outdoor classroom, and connecting with other educators.

During this transformative experience, you will:

• Explore how to build student science skills through outdoor learning and citizen science.
• Practice collaboratively teaching the curriculum.
• Receive your choice of the K-2  or 3-5 eBird Explorers curriculum kits. All kits include bird ID cards, posters, hands-on lessons, and unique grade-level resources. You’ll also take home a bird feeder.
