Nature Unhooked
Nature Unhooked includes a student book, science notebook, and teacher guide to help middle-school students learn about the role of water in an ecosystem.
This is a two part workshop taking advantage of team planning periods for the sixth grade science teachers at Sperreng Middle School. The first session on January 11 will include an overview of DNS, Unhooked Teacher and Student materials, use of science notebooks, Project Based Learning and use of the Teacher Portal. The second session on January 25 will cover planning and implementation of field experiences, sample activity ideas, and the DNS grant component and administration process.
Nature Unbound helps high school students understand the impact of ecology on Missouri and the world through activities that get students outdoors and exploring around their school.
Join us for a workshop to develop the skills to excel in this free curriculum provided by the Missouri Dept of Conservation. The workshop will take place at the Ozark Regional Office in West Plains Missouri at 551 Joe Jones Blvd.
Time of the workshop is from 9-3pm. Bring a lunch and dress to do some activities outdoors.
