Teaching STEM concepts to secondary-education students is a challenge, especially with large-scale, abstract concepts such as the degradation of our ecosystems and the impacts this has on communities. One way to address this is to use small-scale examples that exist in \u201ctheir own backyards\u201d. Thus, the purpose of this project is to develop hands-on experiences to educate secondary-education level students on becoming stewards of their environments and reduce negative ecological impacts. Activities within these experiences will consist of three stations focusing on background information, interactive learning, and use of an augmented reality sand table. These activities align with Ohio Department of Education Learning Standards and STEM ED criteria that is being used within US Army Corps of Engineers on a national level. Questionnaires will be provided before and after a given activity. The questions will focus on key learning concepts stemming from state and national standards. Based on this data, students will be evaluated on their base knowledge and what was learned during the activity. This data can then be used to gage the effectiveness of the activity and refine activities for future use. Activities that involve high levels of engagement and hands-on learning, encourage students to be more inquisitive resulting in their own \u201cself-learning\u201d. It is critical to involve students in the environmental issues they may face in their communities and show them how they can do their part to help mitigate adverse effects. Small-scale hands-on outreach activities that model large-scale issues aimed at younger age groups can create the next generation of environmental stewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
