Course description |
An intensive program to help teachers create engaging learning experiences in which
young learners explore science in their world. Fun activities will fuel children's
fascination and wonder, and develop a foundation for later success in K-12 science
learning. AEP's safety spokesbug, Louie the Lightning Bug, will be featured in the
course. Participants will: experience and discuss hands-on physical science activities
involving magnetism, electricity, electrical safety, forces and motion, gravity,
temperature and kitchen science; discuss science instruction strategies that research
indicates are best suited to early learners; increase confidence in leading science
learning activities; and receive instructional kits that contain activities presented
during the workshop, a variety of resource books, and materials needed to conduct
the experiences back in the classroom. |
