This section consists of education research materials.
These are some of the important questions that my team is addressing:
What activates identity association to STEM, especially in underrepresented communities?
How can university research engage K-12 students in iSTEAM? (where i = Indigenous science)
How can the study of dust appeal to middle and high school students living in downwind communities?
How do we make dust relevant to students' lives living in an environment where dust affects them?
How do we use local knowledge to engage student learning about dust?
How can university research fit into the framework and progressions of K-12 science education, including the Next Generation Science Standards, State Standards, local traditional ecological knowledge pedagogy, and the Sustainability Development Goals?

Dust in a Box
The dust curriculum is now available. Feel free to use it in your classrooms, libraries, and homes.
This curriculum challenges students to think deeply about dust, its definition, why it happens, how it fits in the physical, chemical, and biological cycles, how it can address important issues such as air quality, public health, climate change, and water resources, and how it fits into students' traditional knowledge base and worldviews.
The Dust Resource for schools is now available <- Click here for the resource.
Please reach out if you would like me to visit your classroom for a demonstration. I am a NYS-licensed teacher in Earth Science.
