Teacher Workshop: Expedition Northwest

OMSI's newest curriculum, Expedition Northwest, links teachers, students and scientists throughout the Pacific Northwest by providing exciting standards-based science activities for the 4th-8th grade classroom. The thematic framework of this program focuses on water and how it connects landscapes, people and ecosystems across the region...from glaciers to rivers to oceans; from ancient floods to power generation. Expedition Northwest continues to support regional teachers and students previously involved with JASON by providing activities, resources, and links to real science and local scientists. The project provides an engaging thematic context to provide relevance as well as fun in the classroom with exciting multimedia options including new digital labs, online sharing of data, live and video-on-demand researcher presentations, teacher message boards and weekly podcasts answering student questions. Fee includes curriculum, full-day teacher workshop, access to online tools throughout the year, and year-long support.
