SUMMARY:Soil & Water Quality in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:“Too many times we’re trying to do science in a concrete room. Science is outside. Kids want to get their hands dirty and feel silt versus clay. Now we have the lesson plans. All we need to do is find the dirt.”\n-teacher participant \nJoin fellow Ohio science teachers* at Highbanks Metro Park for a day of digging into hands-on soil and water quality lessons for your students. \nParticipating teachers will:\n+ know methods of determining the quality local soils and freshwater sources\n+ understand the agriculture industry’s impact on soil and water quality\n+ be able to conduct lab investigations with students \nSpend the morning digging deep into soil testing that you can do with your students before eating lunch with agriculture industry experts. Then\, conduct water sampling and testing\, and receive a kit of classroom supplies. \nThis event and its included resources (.7 CEUs\, supplies\, lesson plans) are offered at no cost to science teachers thanks to Ohio soybean farmers. \n“It’s totally worth it for the amount of materials we get. The ability to bring real world science back to our students is invaluable.”\n-teacher participant \nRegister now for this free outdoor professional learning event on soil and water quality. \n*Registration is limited to 20 Ohio science teachers

SUMMARY:Chickenology - MS/HS heredity through the lens of Chickens
DESCRIPTION:Chickenology: Explore Genetics to Breed the Best Brood\nTeach life science in grades 6–12 by taking a closer look at chickens. This 2-day workshop for Ohio science teachers is tooled to Ohio Biology standards\, so you leave ready for state testing and the science seal. \nGrowNextGen teacher leaders will guide you through 20 ready-to-use lessons:\n+ Grades 6–8: ancestry\, inherited traits\, natural selection\, and artificial selection\n+ Grades 9–12: Simpson’s Diversity Index\, Hardy-Weinberg\, cladograms\, biotechnology practices \nThe curriculum is layered with career videos\, virtual field trips\, movement songs\, e-learning modules\, games and simulations\, and project-based engineering challenges. \nTry it yourself during the workshop\, then bring home $350 in classroom supplies\, including prepared slides\, a hygrometer/thermometer\, foldscopes (student microscopes)\, and materials for the games and engineering challenges\, plus 1.8 CEUs. \nYou’ll also connect with industry experts over dinner and take a virtual tour of a local commercial operation\, since 1 in 7 Ohio jobs run through agriculture. \nComing from out of town? Meals and hotel rooms are covered. \nNote: this workshop does not include supplies for hatching chicks\, and is not intended for elementary teachers. \n“Chickenology is going to replace some stuff I’ve done in the past. It’s the same topics\, it’s just better.” —Erica Hitzhusen\, Worthingway Middle School \nChickenology is presented by GrowNextGen and funded by the Ohio Poultry Association and the Ohio Soybean Council\, in partnership with EducationProjects.org and OSU/4-H. \nGrowNextGen connects students to real-world science and careers in modern agriculture through the generous support of the Ohio Soybean Council and Ohio soybean farmers.
