This workshop uses a combination of classroom and field experiences to introduce teachers to an exciting new tool for learning about the ecology of their local stream: The Leaf Pack Experiment Kit. Using this kit, students conduct their own experiments, investigate food webs, learn classification skills and use technology to share their data with a network of schools across the region.
