Rivers Curriculum Workshop ~ Illinois
"July 21–23, 2015 ~ Chicago, Illinois The Rivers Curriculum workshop is a comprehensive four-day workshop about rivers for 6th to 12th-grade teachers, although many lessons can be applied to younger students and to those in college. The curriculum uses rivers and watersheds as a focus for biology, chemistry, earth science, language arts, math, and geography. The lessons are inquiry-based and hands-on, introducing students to complex river-based concepts and issues in a real world approach."
