Ngss And Openscied: Transform Your Instruction To Put Your Students In The Role Of Scientists, Michelle Tindall

Science Education Update Conference Documents

Participants will learn how OpenSciEd’s instructional model puts students in the active role of doing science. As students move through the five routines of an OpenSciEd unit, they are exposed to all three dimensions of the NGSS, Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts. Come learn more about the five routines used in OpenSciEd and how OpenSciEd supports instruction based upon the NGSS through the use of phenomena, storylines, investigations, modeling, and classroom discourse.

The Science And Stem Of Iowa’S Grape Industry, Cathryn Carney

Enhancing Science Notebooks With Scientific Sketching And Nature Journaling, Dana Atwood-Blaine

Science Education Update Conference Documents

Learn techniques and strategies for incorporating scientific sketching and nature journaling into students’ science notebook routines by engaging in the activities yourself. These exercises are about close observation and focused attention; you do not need any artistic skill to be successful at scientific sketching or nature journaling. Additionally, nature journaling has been shown to be an effective practice to add to a teacher’s Social Emotional Learning toolkit. This workshop is appropriate for all K-12 teachers.
