This institute addresses teaching life science in grades 6-12. This institute will explore ecology through a comparison between classroom inquiry activities and data collected in the field. A significant portion of the institute will be devoted to collecting data and exploring ecological principles outside in local streams and wooded areas. Data gathering and analyzing technologies will be integrated throughout.

Since the Physical Sciences and Mathematics programs are being offered simultaneously, you will have opportunities to coordinate with science and teachers in your district.

Program Hours:

June 16 - July 1 (optional pre-institute technology workshop June 14-15)

All programs will run Monday - Friday, 8:45am to 4:00pm.
Each day, participants will receive a lunch break. Meals are not provided, however there are food options located both on and off campus within a short distance.

The faculty:

Melissa Schen Assistant Professor of Biology at Wright State University	James H. Tomlin Associate Professor of Biology at Wright State University	Phyllis Frysinger Instructor of Biological Sciences at Wright State University
