LAS began planning in 2014-2015 for the opening of a middle school (grades 7 and 8) in Fall 2016. Twenty-five educators attended John’s Agile Classroom Workshop.
To understand plant ecology, one needs to know the exact temperature that plants are actually growing in, rather than regional averages. Our efforts to make this widely available to citizen scientists and espescially schools.
Through efforts in citizen science, like building a ClimateCase to replicate outside conditions, LAS is teaching real science. Teachers also simulated projected changes to see if they could assess plant survivability.
