Welcome Back to BioSITE! 
We're looking forward to a great 2013-2014 Season!

 

A big "Thank You" to our generous supporters for making the BioSITE experience possible!  We are grateful to Oracle, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, State Farm, and Agilent Technologies Foundation for providing rich learning opportunities for both you and your students.  
 
BioSITE Teacher Training is just around the corner!  We would like to invite all of our BioSITE partner teachers  (even if you will not be able to participate in field days this year, such as 2^nd, 3^rd, and 6^thgrade teachers) to our BioSITE teacher training. This will be an opportunity to practice techniques that you can use with your students for place based investigations whether at BioSITE or exploring your own schoolyard.  We are here to support you and your students with hands-on science and environmental learning.  Here are the details…

Date:  Saturday, November 16

Time:   9am - 3pm for New Teachers, lunch included - Full Day
            11:30am - 3pm for Returning Teachers, lunch included - Half Day
Location:  Children's Discovery Museum, 180 Woz Way, San Jose
Stipend for Participation

Please RSVP (I want to be sure to have enough lunch) and confirm full or half day.

Weather Equipment:  To help you extend your environmental monitoring, those who attend training will receive weather monitoring equipment to take back to your school.  Especially if you will not formally be doing BioSITE this year, this is a great way to introduce your students to the concepts of monitoring, data collection, prediction, and interpretation.  There is so much you can do even with simple weather equipment…and in the bigger picture, weather monitoring can provide valuable clues about climate change.
