Virtual/Visual Stream Study Expedition
Carey Maske, Chemistry Teacher, Berkshire Biology Club Advisor; Ethan Teare, Student; David Young, Student; Sara Koth, Student; Sarah Mayer, Student; and Brenden Curtin, Student / Berkshire High School

The Berkshire Biology Club learning community will take participants on a visual field trip of primary headwater habitats demonstrating student-created learning modules based on the pedagogy of VARK learning theory. Following an auditory and reading-based tutorial lecture on headwater habitats in a typical classroom setting, participants will have a kinesthetic learning experience in a visual outdoor fieldtrip area to study the same information on a ¼ scale stream. Both learning experiences will take place in the same room to demonstrate the different pedagogical approaches which will be compared in a short discussion between participants.
