A Breath of Fresh Pollution – A Closer Look at Air Quality and Race

Workshop Date: September 26, 2020

Grades K-12
Presented By: Tricia Dennis, STEM4Real

In this session teachers took a closer look at air quality and how different races and ethnicities experience air quality based on their surrounding environments. After experiencing a 5E lesson, teachers learned how to adapt this to their own classroom and the implications for addressing air quality using the science and engineering practice of analyzing and interpreting data (NGSS and EP&Cs) and also addressed appropriate math standards.

Tricia Dennis of STEM4Real, a nonprofit professional learning organization committed to combining STEM content learning with principles of equity and social justice

This session counted as one and a half hours towards the 10 hours required in the 1 optional CEU available for this series.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
