For deeper exploration, the two-to-three-hour session integrates Makey Makey with Scratch, a free block-based coding language, demonstrating how to build projects like a video arcade.
Making Assessments 3D
Grade Levels: PK - 12th
Length: 1.5 hrs
Learn how to align assessments with OAS-S to make assessments 3-dimensional. This session empowers teachers to implement alternative assessment designs to strengthen students' science skills and knowledge. Teachers will learn tools to analyze the strength of lesson plans and alignment with standards and simplifying grading with more strategic lesson design.
Scientific Modeling
Grade Levels: PK - 12th
Length: 30 min - 2 hrs
This session introduces educators to the scientific process of modeling. Modeling allows students to make their thinking visible, as they make sense of phenomena, try out ideas and hypotheses, and engage in collective thinking.
