Teacher Developed Curriculum
K-12 teachers from CBBG partner schools participated in a 5-week summer Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program in which they worked with university faculty and graduate student mentors on a biogeotechnics engineering lab project. As part of this experience, they developed grade-level appropriate instructional lessons which they then implemented in their classrooms. The following resources represent the lessons and materials developed by those partner teachers and are organized by elementary school (ES), middle school (MS), or high school (HS) grade levels.
