Whether you are a botany expert or you are new to the world of plants, refresh your curriculum with storyline teaching and phenomena! Follow a storyline unit focused on plant parts, basic needs, life cycles, adaptations, and more. Engage in lessons from the unit as a learner, including the anchoring phenomenon routine and student-driven inquiry investigations, then reflect on those experiences as a teacher. Construct a storyline unit, incorporate relevant phenomena, and utilize best practices for DEI in the STEM classroom. Bring back to your classroom an outline of a storyline unit, inquiry investigations, and resources for developing your own storyline unit using culturally relevant phenomena. Register online today!
