I suggest that you e-mail Gail Thomson, a staff developer for LASERS, who
organized a little longer inquiry for over 100 teachers, administrators and
mini-corps preservice teachers on water and soil during our pre-planning
week for the summer school academy. She is not aware that I am providing
her address for your access, so please approach her gently -- feel free to
use my name as a reference. At any rate, she is an IFI graduate and the
inquiry was marvelous. I am not sure it can be presented in just three
hours (especially since a "water scientist" -- a marine chemist, to be
precise -- and a "soil scientist" -- an agroecologist, to again be precise
-- were integral parts of the process, guiding the inquiries and debriefing
the content that emerged from investigations), but I am sure it can be
modified relatively easily. Anyway, try:
and good luck!
