SUMMARY:Model and Monitor My Watershed Geospatial and Data Analysis Tools for Middle and High School Teachers
DESCRIPTION:When: Monday\, March 21\, 2022\, 4–6 p.m. EST.Where: Online via Zoom video conferencing. The connection link will be emailed prior to the event.Audience: This online session is open to classroom teachers and school leaders in the local service regions of Stroud Water Research Center (Southeastern and south central PA) and Shore Rivers (Eastern Shore of Maryland). The first 20 teachers registered from the two specific regions (10 each) mentioned above will receive $50 stipends for their participation. Two hours of Act 48 continuing education hours are available for Pennsylvania Certified Teachers. A certificate of participation will be provided for teachers outside of Pennsylvania.Cost: Free\, thanks to grant funders.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\nAre you looking for ways to help your students understand their connections to the local environment? Are you interested in incorporating technology and data analysis into your students’ environmental units? Have COVID restrictions on classroom and lab experiences limited your ability to design real-world STEM explorations using the environment as an integrative concept?  \n\n\n\nIf you answered yes to any of these questions\, this is the professional development opportunity for you! \n\n\n\nUsing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial technologies to explore complex interdisciplinary phenomena\, such as environmental issues\, has been demonstrated as a highly effective method for both teachers and students at all grade levels to better understand impacts with the natural world. \n\n\n\nConnecting spatial representation and explorations to local field-based inquiry further improves understanding in a tangible way while creating a sense of place and connection to the issue. Yet\, knowing which GIS tools to use and how to use them to enhance an existing curriculum can initially be quite daunting to educators.  \n\n\n\nJoin this professional development event to learn about the WikiWatershed Toolkit of resources\, specifically Model My Watershed and Monitor My Watershed\, to help you accomplish your instructional goals. \n\n\n\nThe Stroud Center and ShoreRivers have received a National Science Foundation grant (Resolving Sediment Connectivity Between Rivers and Estuaries by Tracking Particles with their Microbial Genetic Signature) which includes additional funding to support Pennsylvania and Maryland teachers in applying these workshop concepts and tools in their classrooms. Over the next few years this funding also supports pilot curricular collaborations\, including school visits and field experiences. A short breakout time at the end of this webinar will include a preview of how teachers may become involved in future activities of this NSF grant.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop is offered in collaboration with another grant-funded project (PSU Sea Grant and NOAA) and professional development series called “Blending MWEE and GIS for Educators: Expanding Meaningful Environmental and Watershed Literacy with Geospatial Technology Tools and Practice.” By attending this March 21 workshop you’ll join a cohort of teachers in that project for 1 of 6 parts of that workshop series. If you are interested in the full 6-part workshop series it will be offered again in the late summer or fall of 2022.Questions? Contact Steve Kerlin\, Ph.D. (skerlin@stroudcenter.org or 610-910-0053) or Suzanne Sullivan (ssullivan@shorerivers.org or 857-345-0016). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFunding made possible through a generous B-WET grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Grant # NA18OAR4170074) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– And – \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2049073.

SUMMARY:Celebrate World Water Day
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: March 24\, 2022\, 4–6 p.m.\n\n\n\nLocation: Outside at Stroud Water Research Center\, 970 Spencer Road\, Avondale\, PA 19311. \n\n\n\nAudience: Family and community event.\n\n\n\nCost: Free! Please RSVP so we can plan for refreshments.\n\n\n\nView COVID-19 Safety Protocols.\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Now\n\n\n\n\nJoin Stroud Water Research Center to celebrate World Water Day and the unveiling of our new Watershed Education Mobile Lab! Families and community members can engage in four activities: discovery of live “stream bug” (aquatic macroinvertebrates) at our Mobile Lab\, Stroud Center stream ecology videos under our pavilion\, a special bilingual (Spanish and English) reading of the Creek Critters children’s picture book in our streamside forest\, and an electrofishing demonstration to learn about how real scientists sample eels\, trout\, and other underwater neighbors in White Clay Creek. \n\n\n\nTo provide equitable access to meaningful watershed educational experiences\, the Stroud Center\, during its March 24 World Water Day event\, is unveiling its Watershed Education Mobile Lab. Download this image.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 Safety Protocols \n\n\n\n💧 Except for the use of indoor restroom facilities\, the program will take place entirely outdoors in streamside forests\, under pavilions\, and at other outdoor locations that allow for physical distancing.💧 Face masks with proper fit (over the nose\, chin\, and cheeks) are REQUIRED when entering the building to use restroom facilities.💧 Face masks are currently OPTIONAL during outdoor activities.💧 All participants are asked to maintain 6 feet of physical distancing whenever possible.💧 Participants are asked not to attend the program if feeling any combination of atypical symptoms\, including but not limited to fatigue\, coughing\, sore throat\, fever\, chills\, etc.💧 Independent use of the campus\, including unguided use of trails for hiking\, is NOT permitted at this time.
