S2, E3 - Nature as a Classroom
from The Copper Cast Hosted by Copper Country Intermediate School District
In this episode of the Copper Cast, we dive into the power of place-based learning with Beth Squires, a passionate science teacher at Chassell Schools. Beth shares her journey from working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to teaching seventh through twelfth-grade science, and how her experiences have shaped her approach to education. Join us as we explore the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative and how Beth uses hands-on projects like the Biodiversity Project and the Symbiotic Schoolyard to inspire her students. From game cameras to wildflower gardens, Beth's classroom is alive with curiosity and connection to the natural world. Learn how these initiatives foster teamwork, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for the environment. Whether you're an educator, student, or someone passionate about outdoor learning, this episode will show you how connecting with the world around us can ignite a love for science and stewardship.
