Teaching About Ecosystems
Aptly titled, "Science Comes Aliveā this theme emanated from highly motivated elementary teachers (representing five elementary schools from the Gynn County Public School System in Brunswick, Georgia) who participated in the project. This much-anticipated undertaking was the outgrowth of a strong collaboration with faculty members from Armstrong Atlantic State University and Coastal Georgia Community College. The project was designed to produce a fourth grade ecosystems unit that specifically targeted student deficiencies in two areas: life sciences and inquiry/problem solving. Qualitative and quantitative feedback from students and teachers, in addition to an analysis of test scores, will be shared with the group.
