Listen Up: Explore Science Through the Senses!
Each SENSEsational Science Summer Institute brings science to life through a specific sense. Building on our 2024 focus on sight and making thinking visible, the 2025 cohort will tune into the world of hearing.
This FREE professional development empowers 1st-6th grade teachers to engage students with hands-on activities focusing on sound, waves, communication, and more, all aligned with OAS-S standards. You’ll also learn to facilitate classroom discourse and scientific argumentation.
