About the event
Experience powerful storylines incorporating both engineering and science practices into the Middle School Physical and Life Sciences. This workshop provides multiple instructional sequences that make current science and engineering research accessible to your students, illustrates how to use engineering design as a context for rich scientific inquiry, and provides opportunities to develop materials incorporating these topics into your current curriculum. Storylines include removing pollutants from wetlands, growing food sources to support life during space travel, exploring forces and fluid dynamics by designing parachutes, protecting precious cargo during collisions, and many more. As you experience the instructional sequences as a learner you will also develop an understanding of how designers effectively work and think and the strategies we use to keep the STEM content at the center of the rich learning experiences.
