Using Educators Guides to Teach Earth Science
June 28, 2012 - August 13, 2012
In these one-day workshops teachers will explore ways to use the newly revised educator's guides for the Hall of Planet Earth and the Hall of the Universe. The halls present sets of amazing objects for examining essential questions about how the Earth system and the Universe work. During the session we will look at ways to uncover student misconceptions and engage in and discuss pre, during, and post visit activities for middle and high school field trips.
