Description:

Children are always asking questions about the world around them. In this PreK-2 workshop we will be discussing how we can support our students’ inquiry and build their understanding of the science concepts presented in the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework. Working collaboratively we will carry out investigations, discuss the learning environment that fosters inquiry and examine the literature that supports student understanding of the concepts presented.

Participants will:

• experience and participate in hands-on scientific inquiry
• recognize and discuss the science concepts in grades 1-2 activities such as block building, leaf collecting and weather reporting
• develop and use questioning strategies to foster deeper student thinking
• examine and share literature that connects with science concepts presented.
