Session & Date

Grades 2-3

Hands-On/Minds-On Science & Common Core Standards
In this science session for grades 2-3, participants will learn how to use inexpensive, hands-on/minds-on activities to successfully incorporate the Common Core Essential Standards into their Science curriculum. Force and motion, transfer of energy, and the composition of matter will be taught using inquiry based instruction. Tips for setting up cooperative lab groups, discipline in an inquiry based setting, science notebooking, the scientific method, and science fair ideas will all be discussed.  Activities and suggestions will be given for each specific grade level
