Specialized Lesson Plans|Science Posse

Eriek Hansen is developing a series of lessons using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to allow students to investigate Wyoming issues with real Wyoming data.

To find out more,

  • * down load the PowerPoint from his presentation at the 10th Annual Wyoming Math and Science Teachers Conference, October 16.  

  • * Ask Eriek for more information, or

  • * request him to bring this to your classroom.

Marjie MacGregor is developing a series of inquiry lessons with Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches for the K-12 classroom and would love to share them with you!

You can "borrow" cockroaches for the lessons, or adopt the as permanent residents of your classroom.

  • * Ask Marjie for more information, or

  • * request her to bring this to your classroom.
