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
Winston 1B
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
Winston 1B
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
Winston 1B
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.

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.
