THE EXPERIENCE
Oyster Research Station (ORS) Training
The Oyster Research Station (ORS) program is one of Billion Oyster Project's most popular educational and community science initiatives. Teachers in the ORS program are trained to monitor a cage of oysters in the Harbor, collect data about oyster growth, survival and biodiversity, and to make site observations.
They leave the training equipped to use the ORS as a teaching tool inside and outside of the classroom by using our inquiry-based free curriculum.
In this session teachers can expect to:
- Learn how to prepare to take students into the field, and monitor an ORS over time
- Explore BOP's accompanying ORS unit, and consider how it can be used in your classroom
- Connect with other BOP teachers
The $200 flat fee covers training, monitoring supplies, a permitted waterfront site, and oysters. FREE for all Title 1 schools — inquire about the discount code.
