Living With Nature Distance Learning Events

Living with Nature is our free distance learning event series available to schools and home school groups. Each event features a different topic (see below for the academic year 2020-2021 topics) and they will be broadcasted live. Students and teachers can submit questions during the event, for our experts to answer. 

What do you need to know about the events?

  • The series has been designed with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study in mind for grades 6th -12th.  
  • Each event is at 10:00 am (EST) and is  30-minutes in length. Participate live or watch the recording at a later date.
  • There are pre- and post- activities related to each event available for teachers to use in their classes.
  • You must preregister for the event. This year we are using Zoom for registration, so unfortunately you must register for each event individually.

To Register:

Finally, we want these events to work for you and your class. They have been designed to be flexible and interactive. Here are some suggestions of how you can use them with your class(es).

  • Participate in the live online event and/or watch the recorded event at a later date.
  • Choose to only participate in some of the pre-/post-activities.
  • Use the video library to supplement your class.

Supporting Videos

Many of the videos from our Untamed Science collection support our Living with Nature Series by giving you additional information on projects discussed or similarly related topics. These videos are all ~5-minutes in length. They can be used to broaden a lesson with the distance learning event or can be used separately on their own.
