Joanne Dougherty Sacred Heart Academy – Bryn Mawr

We are having a productive, informative, and meaningful week full of great discussion with motivated teachers here at the 2018 West Coast APPLES workshop at UC Davis. I love discussing best practices with other teachers, approachable research scientists, and engaging curriculum facilitators. I’m looking forward to getting my time lapse camera and OTCs (Open-Top Chambers) set up back at campus when I return. This workshop is giving me the confidence to get outside and help my set up students set up experiments so they can get a handle on experimental design, field work, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
