4. CBF - Baltimore Harbor Program - May 2014
The workboat Snow Goose provided a unique platform from which teachers studied the dynamic relationship between the Port of Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay's Patapsco River. Teachers investigated environmental issues and learned about the fragility and the resiliency of ecosystems under the pressure of a modern working river. This was a 1/2 day workshop on Saturday. As one can see, HSES teachers are dedicated to helping to preserve and protect the Bay! Just like oysters, their new knowledge filtered down to their students and encouraged them to take an active role in problem based learning and using the environment as a context for learning.
