Calling all K-12 Science Teachers!
Dig into Soils and receive 8 hours of Continuing Education at our fun and free Educator’s In-Service Day at the University of Minnesota, Plant Growth Facilities, 1538 Gorner Ave, St. Paul.
Join soil scientists on Tuesday, August 5 (8:30 am - 3:00 pm) as we explore core concepts in soil science and show you some hands-on activities to take back to your classroom, including:
- Soil Basics (and soil sampling)
- Soil Chemistry – soils and pH, cation exchange
- Soil Biology – critters in soil, soil health
- Soils and Climate Change – carbon cycling, web soil survey
As a participant, you’ll receive a valuable Soil Science bucket of supplies, books, and a $75 Visa gift card to purchase additional supplies for your classroom. And, lunch is on us as well.
Here’s what a past participant had to say … "The expertise of the workshop leaders was outstanding. The activities were fun and informative. The free materials allows teachers to implement immediately."
There are limited spots available, so apply today. Acceptance notifications will be sent starting in mid- June.
