Watershed Forensics: Using Place to Teach Social Studies and Science
July 6 - 8, 2016 with follow-ups in the fall 
Windsor, VT 

We will investigate the natural and cultural environment of the Mill Brook watershed in Windsor, VT, using scholar presentations and sources such as architecture, bridges, maps, photographs and the river itself. We will learn how rivers behave, how to collect river flow data and analyze it, and how rivers respond in large weather events. The institute will include workshops on tying curriculum to community service and citizen science projects so students are empowered to take action.
