playing god? podcast
Thursday November 7, 2024 8:30am - 9:20am EST
Life-and-death dilemmas. New medical technologies. Controversial treatments. In playing god?, a new podcast produced by the Berman Institute of Bioethics, we hear from the patients whose lives were transformed—and sometimes saved—by medical innovations and the bioethicists who help guide complex decisions. Come engage, explore, learn, and plan ways to utilize these resources in your science classrooms!

The “Great Escape” Box Challenge: Analyze Clues to Solve the Environmental Mystery
Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 10:20am EST
Join us in figuring out how to unlock the “escape box” to determine what is causing a waste treatment system to fail. You will solve puzzles, locate hints, analyze data, and use the combined clues to solve the challenge (with prizes). In the process, you will learn about the science of waste fermentation, and the role of phosphorus and nitrogen in food waste. Be prepared to engage in serious problem solving in a fun environment.

Supporting ACTIVE Engagement in the Physics/Chemistry Classroom Through Socraevic Questioning
Thursday November 7, 2024 1:30pm - 2:20pm EST
Join us in an interactive session for physics/chemistry/PSCI teachers where we learn and practice Socraevic questioning fof our students to uncover hidden science misconceptions and correct them in a positive relationship-building method for the entire class. This dynamic method of teaching has been proven to improve student engagement and academic growth.

EnviroSmart Schools: The Understory Project
Thursday November 7, 2024 3:30pm - 4:20pm EST
In many areas across the country school campuses are the best opportunity to optimize natural systems where green space is needed most. The Catawba College Center for the Environment would like to share an educational model that focuses on the greening of school campuses to foster environmental literacy, native biodiversity, climate resilience, and healthier communities. Participants will experience Project Understory investigations that are interdisciplinary, with a focus on the new science standards.
