The Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Science Education Solutions, and
TERC are inviting high school teachers from Maine, New Hampshire, and
Vermont to explore strategies for using large and complex datasets to
empower students to address research questions.

These workshops are especially relevant for teachers whose students
participate in science fairs, but also for any teachers who are
supporting students as they conduct their own research.Through a mix of
independent activities, small group discussions and work sessions, and
presentation,we will explore tools and strategies that support students
in building skills and habits of mind to help them make sense of the
data and develop their own questions. We will work with data on ticks
and Lyme disease, shifting ranges of Lobsters and Black Sea Bass,
changing sea surface temperatures, health outcomes across US counties,
and the latest COVID 19 data, as well as share resources and strategies
for finding useful datasets. Guest scientists will describe their work
with data and participants will share their own resources with
colleagues across the region.

Sessions will be held Tuesdays July 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, and August 4th
9:00 am to 12:00pm

Teachers that are able to attend 4 out of 5 sessions, try out new
strategies with students in the fall, and share their experience will be
given priority. Participants will receive a $500 stipend for their time.
