Community Stewardship through Education on the Benefits and Risks of Eating Fishes
Program: ENTICE
Location: Anita Purves Nature Center, Urbana
Date: April 16, 2009
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Teachers of grades five through 12, come learn about a dynamic program from the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program. Fish School: Taking Stock of Risks and Benefits will update your scientific knowledge and teaching techniques on an important environmental health issue. Eating fish can have nutritional benefits, but eating contaminated fish can cause nervous system disorders and other long-lasting health effects. Fish advisories are helpful but don’t always reach the people who are most at risk. This supplemental program encourages student stewardship through school/community-based awareness projects. You will be able to build community awareness and involvement concerning a significant health-related issue. Activities are correlated to the Illinois Learning Standards. This workshop will be led by staff of the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College. Continuing Professional Development Units are available. This workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
