FOSS Chemical Interactions Course Workshop
July 19-23, 2010 |
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Hall of Science UC Berkeley |
The FOSS staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science, along with the Center for Science and Engineering Education at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Delta Education, are planning a weeklong workshop for users of the FOSS Chemical Interactions Course for middle school. The workshop will include:
In-depth experience with all of the investigations in the FOSS Chemical Interactions Course for grades 7–8.
Tour of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory research facilities, including The Advanced Light Source, the Molecular Foundry, and the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology.
Presentations by leading researchers and master teachers in chemical sciences at the lab.
The workshop will be lead by FOSS curriculum developers and is designed for curriculum coordinators, FOSS consultants involved in professional development of middle school teachers, and grades 7—8 teachers planning to use the Chemical Interactions Course in their classrooms. We will discuss the FOSS teaching strategies, learning needs of middle level students and teachers, and the use of science notebooks and assessment as they relate to this FOSS Chemical Interactions Course. Each participant will receive a set of the teacher and student print materials. For workshop details and to register, go to www.FOSSweb.com and click on the FOSS Professional Development Calendar.
