[LTER-education] April EOC meeting

[Janice McDonnell]

Hi Liz- We have a year-long program for educators and their students to get them to use our Palmer LTER data.  It starts with a four day PD for educators and culminates in a Student Polar Research Symposium (SPRS) that gets kid asking testable questions with the data and drafting scientific posters.

See workshop information here:

See a short video of a Student Research Symposium here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5R3weetHNU&feature=youtu.be

We will be writing this up shortly with a “how to” guide over the last year of our NSF grant.

Thanks!
Janice

Hi LTER Edreps,
I am wondering if you know of any on-line data bases that you use with teachers.

Have you found ways to make your LTER’s sites data available and useful to teachers?  Do you collect data with schools, and have that available on a web-site, or do you know of other useful databases that teachers have used with their students?

Please pass on your ideas/resources.


Here are mine:

I collect data with middle and high school students.  Our data is available at

I have used the following data base for a lesson about Striped Bass:
