WORKSHOPS:
The Moon's Orbit
From Middle School Issues and Science, Redesigned for the NGSS
Date: 11/8 | Time: 10:00-10:50a | Location: Marlborough Room
Why aren't there eclipses during each lunar cycle? Explore this phenomenon through a modeling activity that looks at both the Earth's and the Moon's orbital planes. Come experience this hands-on interactive session and take home your own Lab-Aids Orbital Plane model.
Exploring a Learning Sequence about Patterns in Species Diversity
From Science and Global Issues: Biology
Date: 11/8 | Time: 1:00-1:50p | Location: Seminar Room
Learning Sequences to drive phenomena through a unit is one way to help students understand the content. In this model activity from a new Lab-Aids program: Science and Global Issues: Biology, developed by SEPUP, you will use data to investigate how abiotic factors and species diversity are related.
Not Your Usual Elementary STEM Workshop: Make a Ride for One of Your Toys
From Tinkering Labs
Date: 11/8 | Time: 2:00-2:50p | Location: Marlborough Room
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.
