BIOENERGY IN THE CLASSROOM

Professional Development Workshop Sponsored by Oklahoma EPSCoR presented by the Oklahoma Museum Network funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation

Fears about climate change and energy security have pushed bioenergy into the global spotlight. For Oklahoma, the development of biofuel is an important step in creating a sustainable energy future. Join us as we explore the sources, production, issues and misconceptions surrounding biofuels. Participate in experiments and hands-on activities designed to encourage students to think like scientists, while making real-life connections. Leave with the knowledge, resources and supplies, as well as the confidence, to use this timely topic to enrich your students’ classroom experience.

A $150 stipend will be provided to teachers for workshop attendance.

Appropriate for 5th – 9th grade teachers.
