Details

This workshop will demonstrate how to use the local fish of Lake County to help students learn larger concepts of water chemistry, population studies, and ecosystem dynamics. Teachers will have an opportunity to measure and weigh fish from Nippersink Lake and test the water quality. We will then pond for local invertebrates and talk about local indicator species. We will finish by highlighting resources and how to incorporate this content into the classroom.

This workshop is geared to middle and high school teachers; however, all educators are welcome. Professional Development Hours are available.

Wear shoes that can get wet and muddy and prepare to be outdoors. We will be going off trail and on uneven terrain during this program. Please bring a water bottle.
