|  MEECS Workshop Schedule
Schedule:The Workshop file tabs sort the information by Math/Science Centers, by Dates, or by Curriculum Units.
|  Michigan Technological University has developed eighteen interactive web modules for three of the MEECS units: Ecosystems & Biodiversity, Water Quality, and Energy Resources. There are six web modules for each unit which may be used to introduce, enhance, or reinforce concepts presented in the lessons. The modules are designed for upper elementary and middle school students, but have also been used for high school and even college-level courses. |
