Join Lab-Aids at the Oregon Science Teachers Association Conference this October in Gresham, Oregon.
Make sure to mark your calendars to attend our workshops and stop by our booth to talk us.
WORKSHOPS:
Students as Atmospheric Scientists
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: October 14, 2023 | Time: 8:00-8:50a | Location: TBD
Students look at data spanning the past 100 years to understand the causes of climate change. Students figure out what the evidence indicates and better understand how human activities relate to this critical issue. Explore this earth science lesson activity from, Issues and Science.
Understanding Natural Selection and Adaption Though the Lens of Antibiotic Resistance
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: October 14, 2023 | Time: 10:45-11:35a | Location: TBD
Connect students on a topic relevant today. In this life science activity from Issues and Science, students use a model to explore the cause-and-effect relationship between the inappropriate use of antibiotics and the phenomenon of the evolution of antibiotic resistance.
What is the Cost to Oregon?
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: October 14, 2023 | Time: 1:10-2:00p | Location: TBD
Every time one million cell phones are recycled, they yield 35,274 pounds of copper. Students investigate reactions to reclaim copper from a used copper etching solution. Students use data from their investigation and evidence-based argument for which metal is the best choice for recovering copper.
Oregon Fisheries in Crisis
From Science and Global Issues: Biology
Date: October 14, 2023 | Time: 2:20-3:00p | Location: TBD
Oregon fisheries are an example of resource use critical to global sustainability. In this interactive workshop Science and Global Issues: Biology, you will model how human choices affect the sustainability of a particular resource. This is an excellent opportunity to make Oregon place-based connections with students.
