EDW 614 - Environment and Ecology

Institution:

Millersville University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

This workshop is designed for teachers seeking to expand their experiences with environmental education. The course emphasizes the human impact upon the environment. The workshop is a full week of hands on activities with four of the five days spent at environmental sites. Based upon availability, a Chesapeake Bay Foundation Trip is scheduled. In addition, we have scheduled trips to landfills, incinerators, water companies, wastewater treatment facilities, recycling centers, fish hatcheries, and other available local facilities. Some of the trips may require hiking shoes or deck shoes. Actual site visitations will be experienced by teachers in an effort to transfer their experiences to students, be able to replicate the experiences with their students, and to develop awareness about the effects of humans on the environment. The workshop will also connect the experiences to the PA Standards for Environment and Ecology. Recommended for K-12 science educators.
