A free one-day workshop providing middle school teachers with content instruction and lesson plans for teaching plant diversity and topics in evolution, with a focus on cone-bearing plants(gymnosperms) is being held at the New York Botanical Garden. It will be held on Saturday, March 27, 2010 and features 30-minute guest appearances by research scientists as well as a curriculum packet of lesson plans and outdoor activities for extended and differentiated learning.
This workshop is made possible through an NSF grant to the ScienceDepartment at the New York Botanical Garden. It is designed to support some of the evolutionary research being conducted. The staff scientists will add details on how and why they study plant evolution, specifically through using cone-bearing plants.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided
