Over the course of the professional learning sessions, teachers will collaborate to solve a series of wildlife crime scenes using concepts of biology and chemistry as they develop a better understanding of inquiry, learning cycle and NOS. || 4/10/10 (Lori) || We will be taping 3 different session for Navajo - could possibly use these for a podcast - 04/12/10 - done - need to edit. Can a student do it? || 4/10/10 (Laura) || We will be taping 3 different session for Navajo - could possibly use these for a podcast - 04/12/10 - done - need to edit. Can a student do it? ||
