Are you looking for new ideas to engage your secondary biology classrooms? Join these three educators as they share strategies for engaging students in topics around climate change, environmental science, and models.

Experiential Learning: Marine Science Field Studies
How do we prepare our youth of today to become tomorrow’s future leaders and decision makers? In this presentation, we will explore a Marine Science course designed to instruct students through experiential learning in our changing world.

The “Wicked” Problem of Phosphate in Clean Water, Food Systems, and Climate Change: Using Clues to Solve an Environmental Mystery
What killed the fish in the river? Solve this mystery by analyzing well water data to identify the source of phosphate pollution in the environment. Use a game-based activity to highlight the role of phosphate in the environment and learn about the how phosphate contributes to eutrophication.

Evaluating and Using Models - A DNA Example
Models allow us to "see" things we wouldn't normally be able to see. Models are useful tools, but they are not perfect representations. Analyse models of DNA to determine which are able to demonstrate the most DNA properties and which would be best for your specific purpose.

SPEAKERS:
Madeline Stallard (North Carolina State University), M. Gail Jones (North Carolina State University: Raleigh, NC), Hannah Crowder (Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton: Atherton, CA)
