LEARN Mathematics! is a three year Math Science Partnerships project. Partners are MMSA, University of Maine Farmington, United Technologies Center, RSU #34, Brewer School Department, and Bangor Christian Schools.
This Moodle course serves as an eForum where teacher participants can network, access resources, share lessons ideas, and receive feedback from mentors.
Featuring NSTA’s publications, Everyday Science Mysteries (ESM) and More Everyday Science Mysteries (MESM), this online facilitated workshop for K-5 teachers will focus on the use of short mysteries to engage students in inquiry science. The workshop gives participants the opportunity to learn about one of the many reciprocal ways literacy and inquiry-based science reinforce each other. It is recommended, but not required, that teachers participate in the workshop with at least one other colleague. Through online discussions and sample activities, teachers will collaboratively learn new ways to improve elementary science through the meaningful integration of literacy in science.
Here you will find a dynamic version of the GENIQUEST Teacher Guide. It is divided into sections like the software. In each section you will find both a Forum and teacher resources. The Forum allows you to throw ideas out for us all to look at. The resources can be downloaded and used with students in the classroom . Feel free to contribute however you prefer. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated and any additional resources you find or develop can be shared here with others
This is the online space for exchange related to the SCITEC Network project. Discussions about program topics, postings of lesson and curriculum ideas and sharing about student opportunities related to SCITEC are all encouraged. Post within the existing topics or create one of your own.
This book is an incredibly useful and practical resource for teachers in elementary schools and offers many insights for teachers as well as science specialists and curriculum leaders. During this four-week online book study, teachers in grades K-5 will learn why science is important in the elementary classroom and how to generate conditions and an atmosphere conducive to inquiry, enhance their understanding about the role of questioning in science, become more aware of the importance of uncovering student misconceptions, learn how to guide students through the investigative process, help students observe and communicate in science, and be introduced to assessment strategies.
