Teacher Resources

Maple sugaring presents ample opportunities for interdisciplinary and experiential learning. The process of making syrup is rich in science, math, history, poetry, story, and community. Sugaring is an irresistible enterprise that requires collaboration and hands-on work in the natural world. Program director Eliza Nelson has decades of experience as an educator and is passionate about working with teachers and students to merge classroom curriculum with visits to the sugarbush. Please reach out to her as you design your unit of study. Learn about field trips and educator events that we offer. We are also in the process of creating a glossary and a bibliography to assist you, and we are eager to collaborate in further developing our learning resources. In the meantime, we have provided a preliminary list of topics to pursue.
