Join Lab-Aids at the Conference for the MAST Conference this November in Massachusetts.
Make sure to mark your calendars to attend our workshops and stop by our table to talk us.
WORKSHOPS:
3E Chemical Reactions: Designing Better Chemical Batteries
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Students investigate how chemical energy can be transformed via a chemical process into electrical energy. After building a prototype wet cell, students brainstorm improvements and build, test, and evaluate new prototypes to meet a set of predetermined criteria within specified constraints.
Time: 9:00a | Location: Westborough Room
Not Your Usual Elementary STEM Workshop: Make a Ride For One of Your Toys
From Tinkering Labs, Presented by Lab-Aids for K-5
This hands-on workshop challenges participants to make a vehicle to move a toy or other small object using motors, wheels, wires, and other equipment. This activity is one of 10 engineering design challenges in the Electric Motors Catalyst, a STEM curriculum for grades K-5 that comes complete with equipment, lesson plans, assessments, embedded support for ELA, and is NGSS focused. The program is distributed by Lab-Aids. Lesson samples and literature will be distributed.
Time: 11:00a | Location: Westborough Room
