Curriculum Workshop: Predators and Prey in a Warming Gulf of Maine
4 PM–7:30 PM | Seacoast Science Center, Ocean Boulevard, Rye, NH, USA | PublicJoin us at Seacoast Science Center to learn about the “Warming Gulf of Maine: Investigating Predators and Prey" curriculum resource
How are warming ocean temperatures impacting fish species in the region? How do scientists study changing predator/prey relationships throughout this complex ecosystem? Investigate these questions and more as you learn about a new NGSS-aligned middle school curriculum based on ongoing research being conducted by researchers at The University of New Hampshire and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. Participants will experience hands-on and interactive lesson activities, engage with data-based learning and develop an ecosystem model using the digital SageModeler tool. In addition to middle school students, resources from this module are also relevant for high school science students.
