2025 Baxter Symposium Session

Presenter: Marjorie Baker, Jenifer Sprague, Morgan Mateling (Gamble) & Alexandra Fausett, Round Lake Area Schools

Take your students beyond the equation! In this session, you’ll engage in hands-on activities that make photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and carbon cycling tangible. Explore how these processes connect Biology, Chemistry, and Earth Science through interactive stations—where you’ll experiment, analyze, and discover new ways to deepen student understanding of energy and matter flow in ecosystems. Step into the role of a learner, gather fresh classroom strategies and leave with ideas to help students truly grasp the flow of energy and matter.
