Brantley 3 From Pennsylvania Creeks to Virginia Streams

2. Data Enriched Place-based Education Data enriches place-based education: teaches scientific concepts by actively engaging students in collecting data that connects them to issues in their local environment connects students to the larger data sets from the scientific community Teen Shale Network – Pennsylvania surface water quality Difficult Run – Virginia streams and the Chesapeake Bay

3. Place-based education (PBE) Offers hands-on, authentic learning experiences Enhances natural appreciation of the world Connects students to community Fosters active, serving citizenship David Sobel (2004)

4. Pairing PBE and STEM Image: www.wm.edu/research/ideation/stem-outreach/stem- education-alliance7498.php Image: Sharon Dykhoff

5. Pairing PBE and STEM Locally-focused projectsSmall geographic scale Student generated knowledge / observations First-hand, quantifiable data collected in the field Small data setsSecondary data sets (larger, remotely-collected) Local team interaction and collaboration Connection with larger scientific community
