This professional development offers hands-on field studies in water quality, aquatic macroinvertebrates and opportunities to study the rich geologic history of the area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the PD we camp at Sage Creek primitive camp ground that has a vault toilet but no running water or electricity. The event is partially outfitted which means meals are provided by an experienced back country cook and we bring in the water while participants provide their own gear. A limited amount of camping gear is available for a small rental fee. No camping experience required but a sense of adventure is!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This PD is geared towards teachers and informal educators that serve upper elementary, middle/high school and undergraduate learners. K-2 educators may attend after consulting with the instructor. The experience is open to educators from all content areas with the expectation that you will participate in all activities. Teams of teachers from the same school are encouraged to attend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Galileo&amp;rsquo;s telescopic observations began a revolution, transforming our views of the cosmos and our place within. It is a revolution which, four hundred years later, continues. Today you can attend star parties where amateur astronomers set up their telescopes for public viewing. Views through such telescopes would have amazed Galileo. Two Small Pieces of Glass puts you in the middle of a modern star party. Discover the wonders that even a small amateur telescope can reveal and learn about the scientists that made such views possible.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Big Astronomy: People, Places, Discoveries explores three observatories located in extreme environments and remote locations in Chile. Due to its special climate and location, which creates stable, dry air Chile is one of the best places in the world for astronomy. By 2022, 70% of the world's optical and infrared collecting power will be located in Chile. With a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) the film highlights the multitude of careers needed to keep the great observatories working. The show is narrated by Barbara Rojas-Ayala, a Chilean astronomer.&lt;br /&gt;

Bring research happening here in South Dakota to your classrooms through hands-on lesson plans. Dr. Chris Anderson of the USD Biology Department researches chameleon feeding and has partnered with the South Dakota Discovery Center and educators to bring&amp;nbsp; his research to the classroom. Chameleons make great phenomena for learning about force, energy, habitats, adaptations and more!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This hybrid professional development is a practicum, meaning that part of the learning time is to implement and reflect upon one of the lessons. We will meet for one day together to learn from Dr. Anderson and the team. Participants will implement one or more of the lesson in their classrooms by early December. We will reconvene in December for a share-out of what worked, what to change and what to add.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Finding Patterns: In ancient Greece, Orion was a mighty but not particularly popular hunter, but his constellation shines brightly&amp;mdash;a familiar shape to people around the world. Why did the goddess Artemis immortalize him in the sky?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Also screening is the epilogue fulldome film of the One Sky Project. Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative &amp;mdash; organized around themes of &amp;quot;Finding Patterns&amp;quot; and developing tools, or as we say, &amp;quot;To Seek Far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
