Project Learning Tree partnered with AMSTI Science in Motion and Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve to bring teachers a day of hands-on environmental education! 🌳🛶🔬🧪
Teachers started the day outside in the beautiful woods of Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve, comparing ecosystems and learning to identify trees. After a delicious lunch sponsored by our Friends of Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve, Jill Chambers with AMSTI led teachers through a Lichen Lab they can take back to their classrooms.
The activity gets students outside to collect lichens and then back into the lab to use both quantitative and qualitative data to investigate and identify pollutants in the environment.
It was a wonderful day of nature, science, and hands-on learning—and we love seeing teachers leave with new tools they can take straight to their students!
