Session Information and Links
Session 1: The Everglades Foundation
The Life Cycle and Adaptations of Mangroves: Superheroes of
the Seashore
What is able to stabilize our shorelines and protect communities from hurricane storm surge without lifting a finger, provide habitat for countless species while cleaning polluted coastal water, or sequester atmospheric carbon and build new land using the power of the sun? Learn more about the life cycle and adaptations of mangroves, our superheroes of the seashore.
Session 3: Inwater Research Group
Harnessing the Charisma of Sea Turtles to Bring STEM Alive in the Classroom
Get hands-on with Inwater Research Group's STEM-based sea turtle program, available free to many Florida school districts. Participants will glean insights on our standards-based instruction as they collect data from their own anatomically correct sea turtle model while playing the role of sea turtle biologist. Teachers will learn how to borrow these programs for their classrooms and bring the excitement of STEM to life with their students!
Lightning Session 1:
BLUE Missions Group
Teaching Sustainability Through Entertainment
