Hands-on experiments and background info that allow students to explore the different forms of energy and how they are transformed using items encountered in our everyday life. Motion, sound, thermal, radiant, electrical, and chemical energy transformations are explored. You’ll be able to confidently explain energy transformations to 3-12 grade students, differentiate between forms of energy, and describe how energy is stored or used in major energy sources!

Science and Engineering Practices and the Science Teacher Leader Group
Friday November 8, 2024 10:10am - 11:00am EST
During this session, we will engage in quick, low-cost science activities that incorporates the science and engineering practices with content to focus our discussion on identifying important shifts teachers need to make with the new standards, as well as resources we have available and need to support implementation. Based on these ideas, we will form affinity groups of science teacher leaders who want to work on specific issues surfaced during the academic year in virtual PDSA style working groups. Our intention would be to come back together at NCSTA in 2025 ready to share the resources we developed.

In this presentation we will talk about an integrated climate change professional development we developed for K-12 educators in our community (Spring 2024). In this session we will talk about the lessons learned and topics covered during this two-day workshop. Additionally, climate change education research indicates many teachers are willing to teach climate change, but are unsure of how it connects to their classroom and where to find high-quality curricular materials

Sensemaking with Concept Maps
Friday November 8, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EST
With the integration of NGSS, students take ownership of their learning by sharing ideas to apply NGSS and crosscutting concepts needed to explain how or why the phenomenon occurs. Utilizing concept maps, students can collaborate and construct meaningful claims, evidence and reasoning to connect what they have learned. In this session, participants will learn different methods and strategies to apply to concept maps to increase student engagement and understanding. We also create sample concept maps at different intervals as students anchor phenomena.
