Sea to Lake, Summit to Sky
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Please join us for the 2011 Annual Meeting and Summer Gala Dinner on Saturday, August 13 under the tent at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness.
Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, the Seacoast Science Center, the Mount Washington Observatory, and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center recently collaborated to create Sea to Lake, Summit to Sky – an innovative new distance-learning science curriculum for New Hampshire middle schools.
Sea to Lake, Summit to Sky combines the resources, reputations, and complementary programs of four leading New Hampshire informal science education centers. Lessons explain real world instances of environmental change here in New Hampshire through astronomical, climatological, geographical, and ecological perspectives. The integrated lessons reach schools via outreach, interactive video-conference presentations, and off-site field trips.
