Registration forms should be sent to the Stroud Water Research Center six weeks prior to the date of the workshop. Student-gathered data and observations become part of an international database used by scientists and provide a means of integrating technology into the curriculum.
Instruction is through field investigations and classroom learning activities.
The Leaf Pack Network is an exciting way of getting students involved in studying local streams and sharing data that they collect on the Stroud Water Research Center s web site. These data shed light on the important connection between streamside forests and the ecology of rivers and streams. This workshop includes classroom instruction along with many field and lab activities. This workshop combines a comprehensive, watershed-based program created by the PA Bureau of State Parks, and the Stroud Center s exploration of the ecology of streams through the Leaf Pack Network. Involve your students in classroom and field research, hands-on investigations, mapping and networking.
