The Discover Nature Schools (DNS) program provides teachers in Missouri with no-cost curriculum units that incorporate hands-on outdoor activities featuring Missouri wildlife and habitats. Each unit has been aligned with the most recent Missouri Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards and includes a field-tested teacher guide, as well as student books and science notebooks for each student. Grant funding is available to purchase classroom supplies and pay for field trip transportation.
This hands-on workshop will prepare educators to teach Nature Unleashed, the conservation education instructional unit for grades 3-5. Workshop participants will receive a copy of the teacher's guide, the student book and the science notebook.
Please dress appropriately for going outside and bring a lunch as we will utilize a working lunch.
