The parent PLC group discussed
how science seemed to be very
distant in our everyday lives.
This perceived distance might be the reason why many of our
students do not feel comfortable with science. So we tried to
connect science in our everyday lives. We found out that there
were many aspects of our community which were related to
science, such as our health, and the environment.
To our dismay, when we tried to look at the big picture as a group, we
found that knowledge regarding our health and the environment did
not always filter down to all levels of society. This is directly related to
the many inequalities that are present today.
Thus, we began to plan a science and social justice event that would
be open to the public. This would allow for Buffalo parents to
become more knowledgeable about the environment around them
as well as about our individual environmental rights.
This PLC was used to finalize the
details of presenters and our
individuals roles at the event. We also
discussed advertising options.
