The goal of this course is to help you utilize a STEM-based approach that incorporates local natural resources as unifying themes to implement Iowa Core concepts in your curriculum. You will work in small groups and individually to create a network of contacts and resources to teach natural resource concepts. Group and individual assignments will build on each other throughout the course.
Participants will build a project-based learning unit for their personal teaching situation, so you can immediately incorporate the course resources and tactics into your teaching. It is offered for 3 license renewal or graduate credits, and also qualifies for credit for the STEM endorsement through Drake.
This course guides the participant through several resources that utilize a STEM-based approach to explore natural resources including:
  • Outdoor Observation Skills
  • Field Investigations
  • Schoolyard Biodiversity
  • Project Based Learning Model
  • Project WILD
  • Aquatic WILD
