This workshop provides teachers with an introduction to our local Lake Washington salmon species, Kokanee salmon, with an overview of their unique freshwater lifecycles and natural history. We will engage in background learning as well as hands-on work around salmon conservation practices that can be used in K-12 classrooms.
In this workshop, we will investigate carbon beyond the traditional carbon cycle and model the ways that carbon connects plants, animals (including humans), and entities (air, soil, water) to each other in a complex web of socio-ecological relationships using contemporary tools and practices in field-based science adapted for K-12 classrooms.
In this workshop, we will use a free and student-friend ArcGIS mapping tool called StoryMaps to tell data-based stories of our local ecosystems. StoryMaps enable student to combine data, images, classroom investigations, and research to tell powerful data-based stories with, for, and about environmental topics in their own communities.
