Description
The lab will function as a physical learning, exhibit, and exploratory space with a focus on urban ecology. Its initial module will consist of a museum exhibition and classroom curriculum development project, designed by an interdisciplinary team of educators, scientists, exhibition developers, and curricula designers. For the pilot, the academy will collaborate with russell byers charter school to test exhibition prototypes and a curriculum that aligns with pennsylvania state science standards for future implementation in all philadelphia public schools. The project will bolster science education and experiential learning for third, fourth, and fifth graders through in-classroom and museum lessons, and visits to natural settings within and outside of the city.
