Environment & Health:
Making Connections through Water Quality Investigations

July 16 – 20, 2012
Trinity Center – Salter Path, NC
Application Materials

 

During this FREE 5-day teacher institute, teachers will participate in an in-depth investigation of the diverse environmental science, health and civics issues related to water quality in NC while exploring the unique natural habitats of the coastal region. By using the interdisciplinary approach of environmental education, science teachers will learn how to address important water quality issues with their students both in the classroom and in outdoor wetland environments. Participants will explore salt marsh, beach, pond and estuary ecosystems of the North Carolina coast, discover the effects of contaminated water sources on wildlife, ecosystems and human health, develop skills in water quality monitoring, learn about methods for addressing hazardous chemicals that threaten water quality, and interact with scientists researching cutting-edge water quality monitoring techniques and health effects of toxic contaminants. Hands-on, real world experiences will be emphasized--be prepared to get wet, sandy and reenergized!  

Each summer since 2002, APNEP has supported a summer institute for teachers focused on estuarine education.  Application materials are usually sent out in late winter and early spring, with the institute held during the summer months.  To recieve information about the institute, please join the APNEP listserv.
