A three-day, hands-on, minds-on workshop designed to help teachers find practical
strategies for science classrooms and competitions. Based upon the book Students
and Research and taught by co-author Dr. Ronald N. Giese, this workshop will make
it easier for teachers to help students develop the skills they need to successfully
conduct, analyze and report an experiment. The workshop will also focus on authentic
assessment. Participants will receive instructional materials to help teach experimental
design; the book, Students and Research, by Cothron, Giese and Rezba; and practical
strategies for conducting experimental research, authentic assessment and working
with parents. |
