In this workshop, the presenter will share some field trips she has taken on Indigenous lands in North America, and suggest some for your science class in the Victoria area.
There will be group discussion about teaching science via stories in Middle and High school. Topics that will be covered with take-away assignments that you may give your class are: "the Spirit Bear and Gene Mutations", "Native Plants, Native Healing (plants used as medicine)", "Nutritional value of foods found in nature", "Depletion of Herring and Global Warming", "Eelgrass: Candy of the Sea", etc. A list of Astronomy resources will be shared as well (available through the Aboriginal Nations Education Library at SD61, or online).
