Students explore the themes of integrity, kindness, and perseverance through the story of a young man whose teammate on a youth basketball team taught him what it meant to show up and do the work, even when no one else did. Through Sean’s experience, students hear how one teammate’s quiet character shaped the way he approached challenges throughout high school and college, and how storytelling became a way to honor that teammate’s memory.

Participants identify four story elements within the narrative and reflect on the people who inspire them, the obstacles they have overcome, and the advice they would give themselves.

Understanding whether water is clean or polluted requires more than just what the naked eye can see and therefore gives educators like you the opportunity to dive into chemistry with students!

In this lesson students will learn about the way pollutants are introduced into the water cycle and how these pollutants can impact ecosystems and human health. They will then learn how to perform water quality testing on several water samples, identifying the sources of contamination. Students will also learn how green space, specifically street trees in urban areas can be used to reduce contamination events in local ecosystems.
