 Analyzing Earthquake Data to Explore Plate
Tectonics<http://gottesmancenter.createsend1.com/t/r-l-pfutuy-jdwdhkitl-u/>

During this two-day workshop teachers will work to analyze and interpret
data sets that indicate the location and frequency of earthquakes and
tsunami hazards and identify patterns that allow for forecasts of the
likelihood and locations of future events.  Participants will come away
with strategies for using earthquake data from the IRIS (Incorporated
Research Institutions for Seismology) website with middle and high school
students, a deeper understanding of the dynamics of earthquakes, and video
and written resources for teaching about earthquake risk.

This workshop is for middle and high school Earth Science teachers.


 Investigating the Evolution of Antibiotic Resistant
Bacteria<http://gottesmancenter.createsend1.com/t/r-l-pfutuy-jdwdhkitl-o/>

During this two-day workshop teachers will work to analyze and interpret
data sets that help us understand the evolutionary theory that explains the
development of antibiotic resistant strains of the bacteria, Staphylococcus
aureus. Participants will come away with strategies for using genetic data
with their students to examine evolutionary relationships among bacteria, a
deeper understanding of evolutionary biology, and video and written
resources for teaching about evolution.

This workshop is most appropriate for high school biology teachers.
 Brain Awareness
Day<http://gottesmancenter.createsend1.com/t/r-l-pfutuy-jdwdhkitl-a/>

In celebration of Brain Awareness Week, the day's programming will allow
students to explore how the most complex organ in the body has evolved, how
it works, and how it makes us human. Activities include investigations in
the Sackler Lab and Brain Bench, Build-a-Brain and much more.
