Led by an experienced aquarist you will learn how to set up and maintain an aquarium for aquatic or terrestrial animals, such as fish, hermit crabs or even small lizards. You will also be given resource materials guiding you to where you can obtain appropriate animals and equipment. Come hear about both on-site and outreach programs. Receive a packet containing field trip ideas, Aquarium Adventures and general information on booking your program. The Education staff will be available to answer questions and help you book your program.
Cost is free to registered teachers.
Through additional support from both NSF and Merck, we are offering a two-week summer institute on the use of computers in support of science learning. Twenty teachers who are confident computer users and have completed the 13-month cycle of programming in either cohorts one, two, or three will work with Macintosh platform software to do research, collect data, report on results, make presentations, and control robotic functions. Participants will receive stipends, software, and will complete an independent project.
