WORKSHOPS:
Sustaining the Commons
From Sustaining Global Issues: Biology
Date: October 17, 2023 | Time: 11:30-12:30a | Location: Witherspoon
How common resources are used by individuals is a critical part of global sustainability. Setting parameters for common resource use can be a critical tool in sustainably managing a group’s resources. In this interactive workshop from the new Science and Global Issues: Biology program from SEPUP, you will engage with a model of how human choices affect the sustainability of a particular resource—the fish population of a fictitious lake—and the potential effects of different actions on individuals, the greater community, and the resource itself.
The Full Course: Modeling Antibiotic Resistance
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: October 18, 2023 | Time: 1:00-2:00p | Location: Mercer
Students use a model to explore the cause-and-effect relationship between inappropriate use of antibiotics and the phenomenon of the evolution of antibiotic resistance. As they use the model, students use mathematical representations to support their analysis of patterns and trends in the results and to develop explanations for how and why the population of bacteria is changing. Come experience this hands-on interactive session that you can immediately utilize in your classroom!
