Discovering Nature in the Southeast

Participants will explore the MDC Discover Nature Schools Kindergarten – 12th grade curriculum units through interactive field experiences within common Southeast ecosystems such as biodiversity studies and water quality testing during a kayak trip on a local river, as well as conducting ecosystem studies at Duck Creek Conservation Area. Educators will participate in lessons and create their own interactive field experience for their school classroom for the upcoming year. While the training will focus primarily on 5th-12th grade levels, all teachers (of varying disciplines) are welcome to attend and create modifications to implement into their respective curriculums.
