'Kelp in the Classroom – Engaging Students through Seaweed Aquaculture' |
|
|---|---|
|
Through the study of seaweed aquaculture, we engage K-5 students in place-based, hands-on learning activities. The Kelp ME ASAP (After School Aquaculture Program) curriculum is designed to be used in both formal and informal educational settings and is aligned with standards. In this session, participants will experience a number of seaweed lesson plans including seaweed anatomy and habitat, water quality monitoring, kelp aquaculture gear, and cooking with kelp. We will share resources such as books, aquaculture curricula, film and information on accessing technical assistance for aquaculture projects. Be ready to get your hands on some seaweed! Workshop Session (all workshops will be 60 minutes) | |
