Empathy and Environmental Design

Workshop Date: April 15, 2021

Grades TK-5
Presented By: The Tech Interactive

Climate Change affects habitats in ways that some animals will have trouble adapting to. In this workshop, we explored how birds live, considered the needs of animals experiencing habitat loss and developed tools to help them adapt to changes in their environment. Educators used observation to collect data about bird behavior and identify what birds need. They used empathy to design homes for birds experiencing habitat loss. They also considered how scientists use data to study and protect wildlife.

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!
