iListen.org STEM Massively Online Open Course for grades 5-9 (Teacher Guide)
Explore a jungle, a coral reef and a grassland along with listening to recordings around the world. This iListen.org guide gives students the opportunity to enter the soundscape lab and learn about soundscape ecology and what it teaches us about our environment. Content in iListen can be conducted in any formal or informal learning environment, as the spaces in iListen include structured learning exercises, multi-day research projects, and exploratory tools. They can be used as a single learning exercise (one room’s set of activities is less than one hour or as a package of scaffolded activities (several rooms with a research project that could take up to 12 hours). iListen.org offers students in grades 5-8 the chance to step into the roles of scientists and engineers who work as a team to solve problems.
