Desert Ecology: Playing in the Playa
Do you know what happens after a big rainstorm in the desert? Come learn about playas, or temporary lakes, and all the animals and plants that depend on them!
Who: 3rd-5th grade teachers
When: October 2nd, 9:00-3:30
Where: Asombro Office, Las Cruces
Participants will explore playas, a unique desert ecosystem and practice lessons that they can take back to their classroom. Learn to hatch live shrimp from desert soil, take home local story books and accompanying NGSS- and CCSS-aligned activities. Teachers will have time to brainstorm their own lessons based on playas, and are invited to share it with the public at our Dive into the Playa public event on Saturday Oct 19th.
