Join Lab-Aids at the Louisiana Science Teachers Association Conference this November in Baton Rouge, LA.
Make sure to mark your calendars to attend our workshops and stop by our booth to talk us.
WORKSHOPS:
Ecology: Modeling the Introduction of a New Species
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: 11/2 | Time: 8:30-9:20a | Location: Room 2
Students develop a model for an ecosystem and then introduce a new species to explain how this invasive component affects the flow of energy and cycling of matter throughout the ecosystem. Come experience this hands-on interactive session and take home your own set of Lab-Aids Introduced Species Food Web cards!
Cutting Canyons and Building Deltas
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: 11/3 | Time: 11:00-11:50a | Location: Room 1
Students model the phenomenon of sediment movement in a river using a stream table that provides evidence for how geoscience processes change Earth’s surface. They examine the role of energy transfer and its impact on landform formation. Students participate in an engineering design opportunity planning and designing a system that reduces erosion. Come experience this hands-on interactive session and take home your own Lab-Aids mini stream table!
