K-12 Education
We are developing an observatory that can be a living laboratory for Idaho K-12 and college educators and web-related resources to support science education and communication.
Keith Reinhardt at Communiversity event at Idaho State University and teaching K-12 about their source of drinking water and aquifer using the incredible edible aquifer and other resources.
Adventure learning
RC CZO will encourage and provide facilities (beds, meeting rooms) for K-12 adventure/experiential learning at the RCEW.
Science communication and soil carbon
A 2 credit graduate seminar on communicating science and informal education provides the foundation for students to design and assess informal learning from videos, exhibits, modules, and also present exhibits and demonstrations at science centers and/or science/environmental fairs
Web-based resource material and or module on soil carbon and critical zone science
RC graduate students will be required to develop web-resource material or module and/or exhibits on soil carbon and/or critical zone science as part of their participation on the RC CZO.
