Monarchs Across Georgia Educator Workshop: Sat May 22
Date: Saturday, May 22, 2021
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Place: Toccoa Falls College, 107 Kincaid Dr., Toccoa Falls, GA 30598 Cost: $30 |
Join MAG educators to learn about monarch butterfly biology and ecology, monarch citizen science projects (Journey North, Project Monarch Health, Monarch Larva Monitoring Project, and Monarch Watch tagging), and creating pollinator habitats. The Monarchs and More: An Inquiry and Arthropod-Based Curriculum is the basis for the monarch butterfly studies and schoolyard ecology explorations included in the workshop. Curricula are divided into grade-level specific lessons for K-2, 3-6, and middle school teachers, with a strong interdisciplinary approach incorporating concepts and skills in science, math, reading, writing, art, and social studies. Lessons are congruent with K-8 concept and process standards as outlined in the National Academy of Science’s National Science Education Standards (1996) and correlated to the Georgia Performance Standards. |
NOTE: It is anticipated that this will be an in-person workshop where masking and social distancing will take place. Many activities will take place outside, weather permitting. The workshop is being hosted by Valley Farm at Toccoa Falls College and sponsored by the Stephens County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Stephens County Farm Bureau. Your $30 registration fee enrolls you as a member of EEA for one year or renews your membership. Lunch will be provided by Cabe Crest Catering. Registration closes no later than May 8, 2021 OR when capacity (20 registrants) is reached.
