Arthropods (insects, spiders, crustaceans, etc.) are all around us, and each of us (and each of our students!) has personal experience with and connections to these segmented invertebrates. Join us in this workshop to explore ways to integrate arthropods into your teaching across multiple subject areas, and delve deeper into all the ways humans and arthropods are connected. Together, we will discuss ways to engage with these animals with curiosity and awareness at outdoor school and in the classroom before/after outdoor school.
Audience: Formal and non-formal educators working with 5th and/or 6th graders in outdoor school settings
