Teaching undergraduate freshwater biology labs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teaching students about freshwater science can be difficult during the best of times. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made this worse because the tools that we use to teach about how science really works depend on hands-on work and field experiences. For the Fall 2020 semester we were allowed back to the classroom for face to face and remote synchronous instruction for the first two thirds of the semester before going virtual at the end of the semester. This presented unique challenges for a lab and field based course. In this presentation we will discuss what worked and what didn’t in terms of the labs that we carried out and how we encouraged students to complete individual projects using inexpensive materials (nets and water chemistry sets) that every student could use and take with them. This has been a learning experience for all of us and we would like to share what we did to encourage students to think about how freshwater science works and apply what they know to developing short field experiments, with collecting data and then presenting what they learned in a virtual environment.
