Science With Depth Professional Development
Science With Depth programs are designed to invite everyone to fearlessly dive into the world of science!
Each PD session includes instruction with actual science tools, giving teachers the opportunity to experience hands-on learning. (Bonus: teachers get to keep the tools!!)
When teachers see the wonder and awe of science, they are more likely to create those same experiences for their students!
Get students doing science,
thinking like scientists,
and seeing themselves as scientists.
Interactive Science Notebooks & Journals
Go From Listing Facts To Constructing Arguments
CHALLENGE: Students view science as a list of established static facts rather than a dynamic process.
SOLUTION: Implement a system that provides students space for doing science and recording evidence based conclusions.
Creating Guiding Questions
Give Curiosity A Compass!
CHALLENGE: Students memorize disconnected facts without understanding how they all fit together.
SOLUTION: Create guided questions that provide a roadmap to explain big picture science concepts.
Using Science Tools
From Passive Observers To Active Participants
CHALLENGE: Students have little experience developing the skills of scientists.
SOLUTION: Use versatile, low-cost tools to gather real-world scientific data allowing students to see themselves as scientists.
Mastery Learning
One Phenomenon, Multiple Paths
CHALLENGE: Students expect teachers to show them what to learn, not how to learn.
SOLUTION: Provide multiple pathways for students to choose how to learn about science phenomena.
Arts Integration
Give Science Meaning Through Art
CHALLENGE: Students see art as decoration, not as a tool for interpreting science.
SOLUTION: Utilize the elements of art as a language for students to express and model scientific thoughts and ideas.
