The New York State Living Environment contains four required labs that are tested on the regents exams. However, as many educators have noted, these lab experiences are cookie-cutter in nature. But do they have to be? If you are a teacher of Living Environment and want to see a glimpse of how these labs could be made interactive and Socratic in nature, thus engaging students and promoting learning, then this is the workshop for you! Join us as we explore each of these labs and see how they can be taught in a more inquiry-based way, enhancing engagement and scaffolding while retaining the necessary goals and protocols set out in the Living Environment curriculum. Participants can expect to perform these labs as “students” and witness teaching strategies that emphasize the inquiry nature of science as well as leave with classroom ready resources!
Dec 11, 2021 covers Relationships and Biodiversity & Making Connections labs.

*Note, this workshop requires a minimum number of participants. In the event there are not enough participants, the workshop will be cancelled, and a refund will be issued. With sufficiant interest we will reach out to those on the waitlist should a hybrid option become available.
