 An Innovative Approach to Environmental Education

Classroom Opportunity for Science Teachers

What are PicturePosts?

  • Environmental monitoring tools developed by the Measuring Vegetation Health team at the Boston Museum of Science
  • Allows the user to take a series of pictures at the same location to track the changes in the local ecosystem
  • Educational tool that teaches about photosynthesis, how light creates color, and plant health

The Museum of Science wants to bring this new tool to classrooms as a creative and exciting way for students to learn about the environment. They are looking for teacher input and feedback!

Educators interested please respond to: mvh-d07@wpi.edu.
