 GK-12 NSF project  Teacher Academy  Course redesign and creation

 graduate fellows team with teachers at 5 schools  several school teams have integrated water quality studies into their 9th and 11th grade science curriculum  one school is conducting neighborhood- based energy audits and relating energy use to carbon emissions

school main site additional site GK-12 City-As-Lab Sites Teachers Preparatory Academy of Urban Planning Brooklyn Academy of Science and Environment Science, Technology and Research Academy for Environmental Leadership

 CUNY and NYU program  Intensive program to prepare NYC math and science teachers  Initiated program/course revisions at Brooklyn College

 Currently a traditional survey course  Required for all geology majors, including TA students for Earth sciences  Received funding from the Teacher Academy  Including GLOBE  GIS - MyWorld

 Team of Brooklyn College faculty and DOE teachers  Content will be structured around:  What do geologists do?  How do geologists think?  Why is geology important to NYC residents?  Focus on air particulates  Entry topic for opening up discussion and questions, performing research

 Project-based  Collaborative learning  Find and use real data  Mixture of Teacher Academy students and geo majors  Final projects could be either a lesson plan or research paper/presentations  Students had to find online data

 A preliminary GIS Investigation of Common Pollutants Impacting Jamaica Bay  Identify how the causes and effects of global warming affect transportation in NYC  Dirty Jersey  How to map crime in your neighborhood  The Gowanus Canal: clean or develop?
