Educational Symposia & Tours

November 4, 2008
On November 4, 2008 the researchers from Temple University’s Center for Sustainable Communities met Upper Moreland School District administrators and faculty serving on the Math and Science Curricula Committee at the Pennypack Environmental Restoration Trust to tour the T-VSSI BMPs. The purpose of this site visit was to describe how each BMP functions and the types of monitoring activities appropriate for each BMP. The monitoring procedures were described to enhance the faculty’s understanding of the sampling and measuring methods involved as well as how these activities could enhance student learning in math and science. The CSC is working with the UMSD to develop a stormwater management plan for its campuses as well as ways to incorporate the BMPs as living laboratories in the K-12 math and science courses.
