Summer Session – June 27, Ends August 15                 

Learn how to construct lessons that will inspire your students to explore science concepts and develop their own knowledge. This course examines a different approach to science instruction implemented by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and National Science Teachers Association, NSF‘s funded Curriculum Topic Study. The ideas of this new planning model challenge teachers to examine the science topics they teach to make well informed decisions to improve student learning. Participants will investigate Internet resources to create curricula using research based strategies, online multimedia and scientific inquiry. Course activities will result in lessons for your classroom. This course is suitable for teachers, K – 12. Course addresses NYS Standards: MST 1,2,4,5,6,7 ELA 1 and 4.
