For Pro D Day, I joined the virtual Beaty Biodiversity webinar. I had the opportunity to learn so many wonderful things and resources that the Beaty Museum provides. The most interesting thing I learned was that Beaty had over 2.2 million artifacts. I also learned that the museum allows teachers to rent out Beaty boxes to take and show to their classes. I found this quite useful information as I think it would make a wonderful lesson to show students and to have them experience some hands-on learning. I also found this presentation provided great resources such as online exhibitions, YouTube videos, knowledge webs, and many more online websites.
Excellent! Are there specific Beaty boxes you are interested in using to connect with mathematical ideas? Depending on the school district you are at, there may also be district resource kits that you can borrow if you are interested in resources that provide more hands-on learning.
