SUMMARY:Chickenology 2-Day workshop
DESCRIPTION:Teach Ohio life science standards using games\, simulations\, & engineering challenges–NEWLY leveled up for 2 days of immersive learning\nChickenology: (n.) the collaborative study of life science standards by focusing on the ancestry\, traits\, and behaviors of a familiar organism–the chicken \nTeach life science in grades 6–12 by taking a closer look at chickens. \nTooled specifically for Ohio Biology standards\, Chickenology prepares your students well for state testing and earning that science seal! \nGrowNextGen teacher leaders will guide you in how to teach ancestry\, inheritance\, and environmental/human impact using chickens and turkeys for context. \nIn this 2-day workshop for Ohio science teachers\, you’ll… \nExplore Chickenology\, a 10-lesson curriculum resource with focus questions such as: \n\nWhere did chickens come from?\nHow can environmental conditions impact growth rate\, behavior and reproduction?\nHow do inherited traits impact survival?\nHow can we predict the expression and variance of traits in poultry?\n\nEngage deeper science learning with: \n\nCareer videos\nVirtual field trips\nMovement songs\nE-learning modules\nGames and simulations\nProject-based engineering challenges\nTry out the games\, simulations\, and engineering challenges yourself during the workshop\nEquip yourself to share high-tech\, high-talent\, high-demand science career pathways in the agriculture industry\, currently employing 1 in 7 Ohioans\nShare dinner with industry experts as our guest\nLearn what your students need to get into scientific careers in agriculture\nVirtually tour a local commercial operation applying classroom science concepts.\n\nComing from out of town? We provide meals and hotel rooms for participants. \nEnjoy bringing back the classroom supplies you need: \n\nprepared slides\nhygrometer/thermometer\nfoldscopes aka student microscopes\nplus materials for the games and engineering challenges\n\nYou’ll also earn 1.8 CEUs. \nThis content focuses on MS life science standards and HS Biology standards. \n“I learned so many things to bring back to the classroom! Also\, thanks to the awesome sponsors\, it was completely FREE!! They have both a middle school and high school curriculum! After the workshop\, they give you a big bag of supplies to do the lessons in your classroom.” -Amber Hawk\, Warren County Career Center“Chickenology is going to replace some stuff I’ve done in the past. It’s the same topics\, it’s just better. Genetics and evolution is probably 1/3 of my curriculum. As a biologist and teacher\, Chickenology is giving me so many good ideas. We can riff off these lessons and add on to them.” -Erica Hitzhusen\, Worthingway Middle School \n“The idea that we can try to make the learning real to the students\, and draw them into the ag industry\, motivated me to come. 1 in 7 jobs is related to the ag industry\, so this will certainly benefit them in the future. There are so many jobs out there in our state.” -Brian Ackert\, Danville High 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/4H. \n* This workshop does not include or provide supplies for hatching chicks. It is NOT for elementary teachers. \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.

SUMMARY:After the Fire: PFAS\, Systems\, and Soy Foam
DESCRIPTION:PFAS chemicals are an emerging concern in the Great Lakes and beyond\, with implications for cellular processes\, food webs\, and human health. \nIn this live online event\, you’ll examine PFAS from multiple science lenses and learn about soy-based firefighting foam\, a biodegradable alternative with no fluorine chemicals currently being distributed to firefighters. \nYou’ll hear directly from scientists and industry professionals\, including Mark Warman of Ohio Sea Grant\, then shift to classroom-ready ideas your students can investigate. \nLive Q&A included. A recording will be provided to all registrants. \nBy the end of this session\, you’ll be able to: \n\nKnow how soy-based firefighting foam works and where it’s being used\nUnderstand the current state of PFAS chemicals and ongoing research into their environmental effects\nBe able to translate this issue into student investigations and classroom discussions\n\nStandards & Curriculum Connections \nCellular processes \n\nBioaccumulation and food webs\nChemistry of fluorine–carbon compounds\nEnvironmental systems and human health\n\nGrowNextGen connects students to real-world science and careers in modern agriculture through free\, classroom-ready STEM resources\, offered generously by the Ohio Soybean Council and Ohio soybean farmers.

SUMMARY:STEM Workforce Fellowship - Online Course hosted by the OSLN Central Ohio STEM Hub
DESCRIPTION:The OSLN STEM Workforce Fellowship immerses Ohio educators in authentic workforce-aligned learning experiences with regional businesses. Educators will translate these experiences into classroom-ready inquiry sessions\, mini-PBLs\, and full-scale PBLs. The Fellowship culminates in the implementation of lessons with students and the use of PortfoliOH to document artifacts\, reflections\, and impact. \nWho: Ohio educators\, 6-12th grade who are interested in developing their understanding of workforce alignment in the classroom\, growing their knowledge of design thinking and problem-based learning\, and providing real world experiences for students. \nWhen: March 10 – April 14\, 2026; Tuesdays\, 3:30 – 5:00 PM EST\nWhere: Virtual (Synchronous) and Asynchronous \nCredit: Educators are eligible to receive 4.5 CEUs for completion of the fellowship\, including participating in weekly virtual sessions and the submission of weekly deliverables through the PortfoliOH platform.
