NICE MiniCon 2015

Strategies and tools to enhance scientific learning in a standards-based learning environment that focuses on real-world problem solving. Investigate tech tools for giving feedback, ways to practice science virtually, and ideas for students to express mastery.

Come see how teachers are using Google for Education to collaborate, align the curriculum to NGSS, and teach professional scientific methods to their students. We will look at Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Drawing and learn how to turn your students’ standard lab reports into professional looking lab reports.

This project-based learning activity asked students to explore five types of media – book, newspaper/magazine article, TV show, movie, and national news broadcast – to discover how science and scientists are portrayed. Students were allowed to choose their topic, and then shared their findings with classmates through a media presentation.
