Students as Scientists
11 students in grades K-5 will be presenting, “Students as Scientists” on Monday, November 24th at the NYSCATE Annual Conference. They have spent numerous hours afterschool and during their lunch time brainstorming and organizing their ideas, writing their scripts, creating a PowerPoint, and rehearsing their presentation. Their session will be “hands-on” with audience members learning how to collect data on water quality and identifying macroinvertebrates that the students will be collecting at three different stream locations on the morning of the presentation. Check out their Stream Team Wiki to learn more and don’t forget to read the incredible discussions taking place on the wiki pages! They’d love some outside voices added to the conversations taking place.
We plan on streaming the session at http://www.ustream.tv/mstportal starting at 10:45 EST on Monday.
