[LTER-education] Science Alongside Scientists-- FREE webinar from WHOI NES-LTER Education Outreach

[Annette Work]

"[They were] challenged to think independently and creatively, and engaged in studying an authentic contemporary scientific problem. [It] sharpened their analytic and laboratory experiment–management skills, and enabled them to better understand and communicate science concepts and practices."*

YES! We want this!      But how do we get there? 
The quote is actually regarding what TEACHERS gained from participating in summer RET's which later showed a significant increase in their students' knowledge and abilities.*

On Wednesday, Oct 2, 3:30-4:30 we will present the first outreach webinar of the fall, sharing and discussing what can be gained from doing "science alongside scientists".

Fairhaven HS veteran science teacher, David Welty PhD, will share about his RET (research experience for teachers) at sea with NES-LTER scientists on the summer transect cruise in August. We will follow up with a discussion about other opportunities available to teachers and students which can bring them closer to "real science".

The webinar is free to all participants and will be recorded and shared with all who indicated their interest by registering using the button below. 
(Your registration information will only be used to notify you of further NES-LTER opportunities.)
