Time:  3:30pm

***1-day Workshop****

Support your local teacher.  Discovery Park and the Wabash Valley Education Council are planning a teachers workshop for upper elementary teachers based on state core science standards for grades 4-6. The workshop is planned for a late afternoon/early evening in early May. The idea of the workshop is to provide some science literacy and confidence in modern STEM concepts for teachers to share with their students. Faculty and grad students are encouraged to volunteer to present some ideas and a demonstration that may be repeated in an elementary classroom for the following conceptual areas: The nature of science and technology: experimental design and results; properties and changes in matter; structures and functions in living systems: cellular life and adaption.

If you have any questions please contact me directly.

Thank you.
