North Carolina science teachers gave a green thumbs up to Bayer CropScience's recent "Making Science Make Sense" workshop, where area educators got their hands in the dirt to cultivate open minds and an interest in active learning among students.
30 area third through fifth grade science teachers participated in a workshop at the Bayer CropScience Innovation Center in Morrisville, N.C. The 62,500 square foot facility is dedicated to driving the company's robust research and development pipeline through commercial gene discovery, trait generation and product development.
During the Making Science Make Sense workshop, teachers toured the Innovation Center and participated in three specially-designed experiments: properties of matter and separation, soil exploration, and DNA extraction.
All participants were encouraged to take these experiments back to the classroom to help students develop a love of learning and an ability to scientifically navigate opportunities for innovation in agriculture, bioscience, technology and more.
Teachers also received continuing education credits for the course.
