Open-ended science activities are exciting and fun, but bring challenges too. How will I monitor group progress? How will I guide each group as they work? How will I facilitate the sharing of results? Come see how you can use Nearpod and The Answer Pad to do those things and more!.
Join us for a workshop introducing the newly designed Modeling Biology curriculum. Participants will engage in an activity from the yearlong curriculum while learning more about the summer workshops being offered as part of the project in June 2016.
Project WET is a curriculum which focuses on water education for teachers (WET), students, parents and community leaders. The curriculum offers 60 plus hands-on and interdisciplinary activities that educate about water and water issues with minimal supplies and funding needed. For the 2016 SECO Conference, we will offer session participants the Project WET Sampler, which has 7 of the 60 activities described above. We will also provide Healthy Water, Healthy People (HWHP), which is the middle/high school secondary curriculum module to the Project WET Guide. HWHP offers 25 hands-on activities involving water related issues, health and aquatic insect education for students and adults.
Participants in this hands-on workshop will design, build and test prototypes of information communication systems that incorporate electricity and waves. This Smithsonian Science Education Center lesson is from the new middle school program: MYGEN Edition of Electricity, Waves and Information Transfer. The unit was designed explicitly for the topic arrangement and three dimensional learning approach of the Next Generation Science Standards. Participants will be provided with the concept storyline which lays out the progression of learning and understandings that students will experience in this unit and additional resources.
