2016 NYCMER Annual Conference: Intersections

Many educators from informal science institutions strive to teach basic science through an interdisciplinary approach, but not often does that approach include the intersection of natural history and cultural studies. WCS’s Predators: Biology & Conservation professional development course strived to showcase the importance of science and social studies, demonstrating to a diverse audience of teachers of various subject and grade bans that the intersection of those subject areas provides a unique and meaningful way of deepening student learning of the natural world. The planning processes and lessons learned will be highlighted in this poster presentation.
