So what are we doing?
To attain the goal of providing meaningful and active, inquiry based science activities for Gateway Academy students, the project team will be doing the following:
- Taking the Biology courses provided by Edgenuity as if they were Gateway students
- Attending seminars and workshops about Next Generation Science Standards and their implementation
- Assisting KBS research scientists in the field and in the lab
- Participating in the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center's Institute for Educators
- Exploring every available experience for student groups on KBS property
- Developing self-guided biology kits that replace virtual labs in the Edgenuity courses
- Piloting new activities at Gateway Academy in Fall 2013
- Sharing our experience at MSTA conference in Winter 2014
