Thanks go to all the children who made it possible for their parents to attend the NSTA national conference by coming along with them! In addition to being a reminder of why we were there, these children often added to our experience by modeling activities in the presentations. This one even got his hands dirty helping Lisa Green (presenting with Candace Lutzow-Felling, Robin Coutts, and Emily M. Ford) classify a soil at the Outside the Classroom Walls: Creating a Backpack Lesson to Expand Student Learning session. The presenters are from the University of Virginia, State Arboretum of Virgina, Blandy Experimental Farm, and urged us to come see the backpack model in action.
