To add technology, have students find a resource or picture or article that supports their sentences.
Students will perform autopsies on and test fluid in a large dill pickle; to practice dissection skills.
Come and explore fun ways to teach students about flood walls and creating farms of the future. Students will expand their knowledge of the engineering design process and be introduced to scale modeling. We will also discuss how to bring farming into the classroom through guest speakers, professional development opportunities, and developing your own hydroponic garden.

This session will discuss how outdoor learning spaces and gardening provide opportunities for students to participate in inquiry-based learning and meaningful activities to enhance critical thinking skills. Using the garden and outdoors as a source for content-based activities, students can use design thinking to solve authentic problems.
Design and build a sleigh using a WeDo kit that will pull a specific measured weight.
In this session, attendees will learn how to lead students through the planning and development process of design challenges. Attendees will develop an understanding of the various components and stakeholders that can be brought into these challenges so that students have a well-rounded authentic learning experience.

In this session teachers will explore try out some of the science challenges. All lessons align to the NEXT Generation Science standards. These are easily transfer over to the NC Science standards. English Language Arts is easily integrated through the documentation tool. Students do reflective writing about their design and solution. These lessons can meet science standards in K-5. First Lego League Junior prepares them for more advance robotics and engineering. The FIRST Core Values helps students to work as a team.

Primary teachers, did you know play is a research-based best practice? Children grow and learn in all developmental areas through their engagement in centers: language and literacy, cognitive, social emotional, and physical. Child initiated, hands-on experiences provide standards-based practice in a risk-free environment. In this recorded webinar, tips for setting up center and actionable steps for implementation are shared. Teachers will leave with an understanding of how children learn through play. Research will be shared on why play is an integral part of the learning process for primary grades. Not only is this best for children, it allows teachers to target standards, differentiate instruction, and personalize learning. Participants will delve into the Office of Early Learning’s new Play to Learn Planning Guides and Posters. Both the Play to Learn Planning Guides and Posters are share on #GoOpenNC.
Using Sphero robots in the classroom to enforce mathematical concepts and connections related to geometry, trigonometry, and basic algebra and introduce students to basic programming concepts. Students can explore through different tasks that deal with rate of change, distance formula (Pythagorean Theorem), angle of rotation (basic trigonometry), and related topics while applying those concepts to a physical activity. The Sphero tools also allow students with different programming experiences to tailor their work to fit their skill level from basic (block programming) to advanced (Java). The tasks also promote collaboration between students to problem solve issues on the fly as they work to reach a common goal or compete to outdo other groups.
