    Professional Development Opportunity

    Webinar: Ocean Acidification - Bridging Earth Science and Chemistry

    Cost: Free

    When: Thursday, November 2, 2023, 4:00 pm ET

    Where: Virtual via Zoom

    Duration: 1 Hour

    Registration: Register by November 1, 2023 

    Webinar Description: 

    The spirit of NGSS is to break down disciplinary silos and encourage students to make cross-curricular connections, but this can be challenging, especially at the high school level. Infiniscope, a NASA-funded project, has been working to create mix-and-match learning modules that enable educators to organize their classrooms around specific phenomena and storylines. In this webinar, we'll share our newest suite of learning experiences tied to the anchoring phenomenon of Ocean Acidification and the investigative phenomenon of declining oyster populations. We'll share early results from student testing, plans for future learning modules, and how you can get involved.
