New York City DOE, the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Biology Teacher Association, and HHMI BioInteractive are excited to present:
Populations, Communities, Ecosystems and Humans: Relationships that Matter
A series of FREE workshops for New York City Area Teachers
The workshop will be held:
Saturday, February 2, 2019
8:30AM-4:00PM
American Museum of Natural History
Davis Classroom West
Central Park West & 79th St
New York, NY 10024
This workshop series will explore ecology including communities (February 2) and ecosystems (May 18), with a focus on human impacts, including climate change. Major emphases will be on the crosscutting concepts of systems and scale, particularly interconnections among systems, since understanding ecosystems at one scale such as populations is necessary for understanding ecosystems at another, such as communities. Living Environment, AP Biology and Environmental Science, and IB Biology and Environmental Systems teachers are encouraged to attend.
