What is Science Institute?
Science Institute is an innovative professional development experience, where teachers will work with museum and university scientists to build a deeper understanding of content, inquiry and the nature of science both in and out of the classroom. This year, Science Institute is excited to partner with the Sam Noble Museum’s Invertebrate Paleontology Department to explore how ecosystems in Oklahoma have changed over time; teachers will conduct scientific investigations both at two unique field sites and at the Sam Noble Museum, while using their research and the museum’s technology to develop resources and curricula which will be available to other educators across the state.
