Big Splash!
June 24-June 28
An experiential, two-graduate credit class offered in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Viterbo University. Using the Coughlin Center as our base camp, we?ll venture out to explore Lake Winnebago?s unique fishery, wade a nearby stream and spend time in the lab learning just what makes a fish a fish. Together, we will link fishing to science standards through hands-on investigations of fish and their habitat, tying one of Wisconsin's most venerable traditions to social studies, language arts, fine arts and physical education. Participants will practice stream sampling methods, look at service learning opportunities to protect aquatic resources in their community, and find out what can be done to hold the line on invasive species. Enriching activities from Project WILD, Project WET and other water education materials will help you meet Common Core Standards, particularly for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and foster meaningful civic involvement. All participants who complete the course will be certified in Project WET, Project WILD, and as DNR Angler Education Instructors. Location: James P. Coughlin Center at 625 E. County Road Y, Oshkosh, WI. Costs: $270.00, includes two graduate credits and Project WET and Project WILD certification. The non-credit cost of the workshop is $50 for Project WET & Project WILD. Registration Deadline: Please complete and mail by June 12, 2013 along with the $50.00 deposit to reserve your spot; see details on the registration form. Contact Kimberly Anderson, (608) 261-6431.
