Don't miss our Virtual SEEd Workshops! November 10th and 17th January 12th and 19th No

The Utah AITC SEEd workshops are developed for K-5 teachers interested in exploring strands of the Utah SEEd standards. These virtual workshops include hands-on activities and online learning experiences that can be used to engage students in the study of living organisms, the effects of traits on survival, organisms functioning in their environment, and the cycling of matter. The first 36 registrants for each workshop will receive science-based curriculum materials and Utah AITC SWAG. Workshop attendees will receive 3 USBE relicensure hours. There is no cost to attend the workshop.

3rd Grade SEEd Professional Development: The Effects of Traits on Survival Tuesday, November 17, 2020 4:00-6:00 PM

Organisms (plants and animals, including humans) have unique and diverse life cycles, but they all follow a pattern of birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited traits. An organism’s traits are inherited from its parents and can be influenced by the environment. Tentative Agenda Utah AITC Introduction and Resources Agriculture...Where Does it Fit?

4th Grade SEEd Professional Development: Organisms Functioning in Their Environment Tuesday, January 12, 2021 4:00-6:00 PM

Through the study of organisms, inferences can be made about environments both past and present. Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions for growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction.

5th Grade SEEd Professional Development: The Cycling of Matter in Ecosystems Tuesday, January 19, 2021 4:00-6:00 PM

Matter cycles within ecosystems and can be traced from organism to organism. Plants use energy from the sun to change air and water into matter needed for growth. Animals and decomposers consume matter for their life functions, continuing the cycling of matter. Human behavior can affect the cycling of matter. Scientists and engineers design solutions to conserve Earth’s environments and resources. Tentative Agenda Utah AITC Introduction and Resources Agriculture...Where Does it Fit?
