The eight sessions of the Four Walls, Forget It! series cover life sciences standards in an interdisciplinary way. Language arts activities often introduce concepts, and math-based activities are woven throughout to illustrate and model specific life sciences concepts.
The goal of this series is to model the ways in which teachers can use the schoolyard habitat as an exciting extension of the classroom. The National Science Teachers Association strongly supports environmental education as a way to instill environmental literacy in our nation's pre-K-16 students and as an essential component of a comprehensive science education program. This series helps participants develop ways to expose children to direct, purposeful experiences in diverse natural settings. Such experiences will extend and enhance what science education has to offer.
Participants will receive a collection of lesson plans and activities that are aligned with OACS and based on a constructivist approach and interdisciplinary model. There will be time to collaborate with other educators to share ideas and create new lessons based on the expert content presented.
Each session will present a complete package of content and teaching resources; you do not have to attend all eight sessions.
To earn graduate credit: Any combination of 15 contact hours is eligible for one nondegree graduate credit hour OR combine any of this series’ sessions with any of the Continents to Climate, Rocks to Rain: Earth and Space Sciences Series’ sessions.
