Nature Unleashed Teacher Certification Workshop

Help your students discover what's outside by collecting data and observations of our Missouri ecology of different ecosystems such as prairies, forests and ponds, food chain interactions within those different ecosystems, organism adaptations, and so much much more. All of this is right at your fingertips with our Discover Nature Schools Unleashed Unit designed for 3rd grade to 5th grade students - free to all Missouri public, private, and homeschool teachers.;

Be sure to download the free SEEK app by iNaturalist prior to the workshop. Please bring a lunch (microwave is available) and make sure you have your outdoor gear ready including outdoor shoes because we will be going outside for many activities! If you have water shoes or water boots, please bring them as well.

At the conclusion of the workshop, we will review the Nature Unleashed Grant which provides funding to all Missouri-accredited schools for classroom equipment and travel reimbursement for outdoor field experiences.
