Great Salty Phenomenon: Using our Lake as a Model for Science Learning and Instruction

Science is all around us! Our local ecosystems can be used as models in the classroom to get students excited about the natural world and scientific inquiry. The Great Salt Lake is an integral part of Salt Lake Valley\’s ecosystem and weather patterns and provides this learning opportunity. Join Katie Newburn, Education and Outreach Director for the Friends of the Great Salt Lake along with Kristen Bonner, science educator at Indian Hills Elementary for an interactive evening of learning about the recent changes to the lake as well as how to incorporate the Great Salt Lake into the classroom. This webinar will include current information on the state of the Great Salt Lake, model best practices for science instruction, and incorporate ideas for solutions to environmental problems. Participants will leave with resources from Friends of the Great Salt Lake that meet Utah SEEd standards. We encourage all educators to attend, from K-12 teachers, informal educators, and any other interested parties.
The webinar is free, but please register here.
