In this session, we will examine the skills that scientists and engineers utilize in their work and explore ways to incorporate these with our students. Participants will move through the SEP Circus from the California Academy of Sciences. In each station participants will experience a different science and engineering practice. After reflecting on the stations, there will be time for collaboration and discussion regarding adjustments to make when lesson planning to incorporate the SEPs.
