Sun, Moon and Earth: A Rare Glimpse of Eclipse Phenomenon!
Middle School Science NGSS Professional Development
Anchoring NGSS learning to relevant scientific phenomena has been encouraged by national leaders. On Monday, August 21st, an eclipse of the sun will be observable from coast to coast, providing opportunity for students and teachers alike to experience a rare phenomenon.
The spectacular event is opportune as middle school teachers across New England begin to develop and pilot NGSS-congruent classroom tasks. In this five-hour NESTA-hosted professional development event, middle school teachers will explore and co-develop classroom activities to facilitate students’ ability to demonstrate an NGSS performance expectation (MS-ESS1-1). Topics include safe observing methods (Engineering Design), classroom modeling of phenomenon, and research-based strategies to support argumentation.
Lunch, door prizes (Galileoscopes, radiometers), and professional development certificates will be provided.
