Do you want to get your students outside? Do you need equipment and supplies to do this?
The Diack Ecology Education Program provides a system of grants, workshops and resources to teachers and students in Oregon to encourage them to participate in field-based science inquiry and ecology studies.
1. Learn how field-based student directed research can provide an engaging opportunity for students to learn critical thinking, data collection, comparative analysis, and written and oral presentation skills.
2, Become proficient with a variety of data collecting tools and procedures, from low-tech items like transect tapes and D-nets to high-tech dissolved oxygen sensors and temperature data loggers.
3, Come away with strategies to manage your particular classroom situation. All classes are unique, but we have a wealth of experience with a wide range of logistical challenges. You can make this work.
4. Know the procedure for applying for a Diack grant for up to $6000.
