Richland museum to teach instructors hands-on workshop

  • 2021-06-14
The REACH Museum in Richland will be organizing a course in August to show teachers an engaging workshop to share with their students.

Investigating Crayfish + Freshwater Ecosystems is a program offered by the REACH Museum that shares an educational and entertaining workshop with instructors. The course can be taught to students between the 2nd and 12th grades. The lesson encourages kids and teens to go outside and conduct scientific investigations into local water sources. The data gathered from the citizen science project can help local researchers discover more information about Crayfish.

Attendees will discuss pre-session materials and create plans to incorporate the workshop during the school year. The final session will have instructors present their classroom plans to the group. Teachers who attend the class will also receive homework assignments to give to their students. The course will be taught by veteran educator Rick Reynolds and other instructors from The River Mile Network. Educators can promote activities like this by using Print shops to make ads.

The training program will be held on Thursday, August 12th and is free to attend. Teachers are required to register for the activity to participate. Those interested in learning additional information about the workshop can contact Janice Elvidge from The River Mile Network. People who complete the session can earn Washington STEM clock hours.
