Fire as Phenomena
Friday November 8, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am EST
Every Campfire has a master who lights it, keeps it burning, and puts it out. Industrial facilities use boilers to make the things we need, and land managers use fire to protect and rejuvenate the forest. But fire has a dark side of soot, air pollution, and danger. We will look at fire through chemistry, math, and energy using hand-on demonstrations, chemistry and fire.

Cafeteria to Compost to Landfill: Student-driven research to enact change
Friday November 8, 2024 10:10am - 11:00am EST
This session showcases a series of interdisciplinary lessons across multiple grade bands (k-5, 6-8, and 9-12) where students will conduct hands-on research and activities at their school to identify patterns in food waste and examine how food waste impacts our environment and communities. Students will also research landfills in North Carolina and examine solutions such as waste reduction, education, and composting.

Creating Professional Development for K-12 educators
Friday November 8, 2024 11:10am - 12:00pm EST
In this presentation we will talk about an integrated climate change professional development we developed for K-12 educators in our community (Spring 2024). In this session we will talk about the lessons learned and topics covered during this two-day workshop. Additionally, climate change education research indicates many teachers are willing to teach climate change, but are unsure of how it connects to their classroom and where to find high-quality curricular materials

In AWE with DEQ (Air, Water and Earth)
Friday November 8, 2024 11:10am - 12:00pm EST
NC Department of Environmental Quality uses science to protect human and environmental health in North Carolina. Educators from DEQ have the mission of supporting teachers and students and developing both knowledge and teaching skills. In this workshop educators from the DAQ, DWR, DEMLR, and Geological Survey will share how some of their resources support the new Essential Standards in Science and how the student’s knowledge can lead to good employment opportunities in the student’s future.

Leveraging New Science Standards to Increase Environmental Literacy: Data and Strategies
Friday November 8, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EST
How can we drive the greatest impact from the new science standards to boost environmental literacy for students? A multi-year survey of environmental education (EE) in the Southeast drew data from 1400+ stakeholders to identify gaps and barriers to outdoor and EE access. The analysis highlights specific challenges as well as opportunities to enhance place-based learning across the curriculum. In this session, discover ways to integrate EE across the standards, include SEP, and make the most of local EE resources for student success PK-12.

Do you want to build an Ecosystem? Come on, let’s go and play!
Friday November 8, 2024 2:40pm - 3:30pm EST
This presentation will combine hands-on activities and lecture. Participants will make a mobile using biotic and abiotic factors and a small terrarium. The presentation will showcase a lesson for ESS.EES 4.1 with an introduction to ESS.EES 4.2 and LS.Bio.4.1. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to create lessons for the new standards and how to make models to incorporate biotic and abiotic factors in various ecosystems.
