Learning from Nature: STEAM Investigations for the Classroom
Friday November 8, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am EST
Winston 1B
Knowledge of biological systems can be linked with the practical application of designing products, addressing environmental concerns and demystifying science to catch the imagination of young learners. Technologies inspired by nature (biomimicry) and the intentional design of safer products and processes (green chemistry) provide an avenue for teachers to introduce a range of STEAM concepts in a dynamic investigative manner while weaving literacy and art connections across their science curriculum. In this hands-on workshop you will explore practical tips for implementing open-access units covering engineering design, animal adaptations, and properties of matter. By using inexpensive and easily accessible materials, learn how these NGSS-designed lessons can be used to challenge and inspire your students. Each lesson puts students in the role of the sustainable scientist while integrating Common Core Language Arts and Math standards.

Cafeteria to Compost to Landfill: Student-driven research to enact change
Friday November 8, 2024 10:10am - 11:00am EST
Winston 1B
This session showcases a series of interdisciplinary lessons across multiple grade bands (k-5, 6-8, and 9-12) where students will conduct hands-on research and activities at their school to identify patterns in food waste and examine how food waste impacts our environment and communities. Students will also research landfills in North Carolina and examine solutions such as waste reduction, education, and composting.

Teaching Science with Historical Primary Sources
Friday November 8, 2024 11:10am - 12:00pm EST
Winston 1B
Come learn how to access the Country’s largest Library – the Library of Congress – and teach science with historical primary sources. Bring your laptop and your imagination. Time will be spent looking through archives and creating lessons you may use next week! Once you’re really hooked, we’ll have information on how to sign up to attend the free professional development this summer at the LOC in Washington, DC.

Leveraging New Science Standards to Increase Environmental Literacy: Data and Strategies
Friday November 8, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EST
Winston 1B
How can we drive the greatest impact from the new science standards to boost environmental literacy for students? A multi-year survey of environmental education (EE) in the Southeast drew data from 1400+ stakeholders to identify gaps and barriers to outdoor and EE access. The analysis highlights specific challenges as well as opportunities to enhance place-based learning across the curriculum. In this session, discover ways to integrate EE across the standards, include SEP, and make the most of local EE resources for student success PK-12.

Embracing the New Standards in the Outdoors: Transforming Teaching Beyond the Classroom Walls
Friday November 8, 2024 2:40pm - 3:30pm EST
Winston 1B
Are you ready to take your teaching outside the classroom? Join us to explore various approaches to outdoor education! Discover strategies to tackle the unique challenges of teaching outdoors, best practices and considerations. In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to transform one of your indoor lessons into an engaging outdoor activity. Bring a lesson that you'd like to adapt for an outdoor setting and SEP’s. We'll also provide sample lessons tailored for outdoor learning.
