The Science House Presents: Shifting to Modeling and the SEPs in Middle School
Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 10:20am EST
Winston 1C
So you are already doing great science/ STEM teaching in your middle school classes, now what? How can we shift to incorporating more Science and Engineering Practices? Join us for a guided self-reflection time where we work on shifting lessons toward SEP implementation. Participants will experience a traditional lesson and then work through a guided reflection process that demonstrates how to identify areas that can be enhanced to become more student-centered and minds-on.

Forest fires, wildfire smoke, and health: Exploring curriculum connections
Thursday November 7, 2024 3:30pm - 4:20pm EST
Winston 1A
NC communities are increasingly encountering wildfire smoke and reduced air quality from forest fires burning near and far. In this session, we’ll explore curriculum connections and discuss strategies and tools for engaging students in learning about NC’s growing wildland urban interface and increased susceptibility to climate-driven wildfires. We will also explore the range of solutions that can be implemented to prevent wildfires and protect public health from exposure to wildfire smoke.
